The Nuffield Council on Bioethics recently launched a new in-depth project on the future of ageing. Within this, was a consultation with several sections.

We focused on two key areas in our submission, these were that changes in healthcare practice must be made to recognise specific needs of older people and improving inclusion of older people in clinical trials.
