Gather your network together to be inspired as JCU’s top researchers and academics share their expertise in a relaxed and fun environment.
Hear from Dr Michael Inskip as he shares his insights into research that could help people better manage frailty during old age, and improve their quality of life by returning to basic principles in best practice care. Discover how Associate Professor Michelle Redman-MacLaren is using poetry in her research to encourage implementation of policy and interventions, and how poetics can inspire decision-makers into action.
Becoming stronger with age
Most of us tend to grow frail in old age, and many older adults experience the effects of that frailty — from falls and hospitalisation to disability and even mortality. However, Dr Michael Inskip says this doesn’t have to be the case. Join Dr Inskip at Inspiration on Tap to learn how we can effectively combat frailty.
Presented by Dr Michael Inskip, James Cook University College of Healthcare Sciences
