Scottish Older People's Assembly 2012 announced

The Scottish Older People's Assembly 2012 (SOPA 2012) is taking place on Friday 2 November 2012 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC).
Nicola Sturgeon MSP, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Health, Wellbeing and Cities Strategy, will be the keynote speaker at SOPA 2012.
Now in it's fourth year, the theme for 2012's Assembly is the older person's experience of care and its challenges. This could be in the person's own home, a centre, hospital or care home.
The Assembly will also highlight issues around active ageing, preventative care that encourages older people to remain socially connected and the contribution older people themselves make in caring for others.
The Scottish Older People's Assembly Steering Group is asking older people to send in comments and statements about care and caring, including good practice examples and experiences of preventative care that helps older people to remain socially and physically active.
Comments can be sent to acfaa@edinburgh.gov.uk or by post to:
Glenda Watt, The City of Edinburgh Council, Business Centre 1/7, Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG.
Older people's groups around Scotland will be invited to attend the event. Older individuals that would like to attend can register interest by email to acfaa@edinburgh.gov.uk or by calling 0131 469 3806 / 3764. Places will be confirmed in October 2012.
