Accessibility & LanguageAge Friendly College
The College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (CMNHS) is committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity in all its endeavours. As part of this commitment, we value the contribution of older people to our research, teaching and outreach agendas. We recognise the World Health Organization's identification of aging populations as a major area of focus. Therefore, we aim to provide the foundation and resources to enable people of all ages to actively participate in education, research and our community activities. We aim to treat everyone with respect, regardless of their age. We understand that older people bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that can benefit all areas of our work and activity. By engaging with older people, we gain insights into the unique challenges and opportunities facing this population, allowing us to develop more effective solutions that can improve the lives of all members of our community.
The CMNHS supported three projects between the three schools (School of Medicine, School of Nursing and Midwifery and the School of Health Science) in 2023/2024. The call for applications to the Age-Friendly College Funding had a huge response. We were delighted to be able to fund several projects which will ignite new activities and consolidate areas of strengths around teaching, research or outreach associated with the Age-Friendly University (AFU) global network 10 Age-Friendly Principles.
Age Friendly Principles
The Age Friendly University (AFU) network consists of institutions of higher education around the globe who have endorsed the 10 AFU principles and committed themselves to becoming more age-friendlyin their programs and policies. Launched in 2012 the 10 AFU principles have been adopted by institutions in Ireland, U.K., U.S., Canada and beyond. The CMNHS aims to strive to address the 10 AFU principles.

We welcome your suggestions for an Age friendly College initiative, research or an outreach event etc.
