With the growing prevalence of terms like “positive ageing” and “healthy ageing”, getting old can at times feel like a competition. But is there really a perfect way to ‘grow old well’? 

Join a panel of experts on ageing as they discuss both the big existential and pragmatic questions around growing old, namely: should we be fighting a natural process, in an attempt to cheat death through science?

Hosted by psychiatrist A/Professor Neil Jeyasingam, this panel also features: geriatrician and ageism expert Dr Lisa Mitchell; Professor Perminder Sachdev AM, Co-Director of the UNSW’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing, and Dr Ruth Wilson, who completed her PhD on Jane Austen at 88 years old.

Proceeds will be donated to Wisdom-Connect, a charity dedicated to reducing loneliness in older people in Aged Care facilities via video conferencing technology, allowing them to connect to the outside world.
