Current projects

Professors Lee Smith, Sanjiv Ahluwalia and Shahina Pardhan are working with a healthcare system in Nepal to assist in the development of a geriatric services and workforce. This work includes analysing population-level data to inform service design, curricula and training opportunities to upskill local colleagues, and work with local government offices to influence policy in services for people over the age of 65 years.

We have a number of other projects under development in Nepal, the Middle East and Asia, and will share more information about these in due course.
