Agewell 2021

  • By Lisa Fuller

Last year Agewell did not go ahead as planned due to the covid-19 pandemic, however this year we decided we would run an online version on Thursday 9th of September. The conference took place using Zoom, and we tried to keep to the format with which we are familiar.

We heard from 4 speakers in the morning session:

Julie Robinson the CEO of Move it or Lose It

Dr Beth Phillips, Associate Professor of Clinical, Metabolic & Molecular Physiology, University of Nottingham

Professor Martin Hewison, Professor of Molecular Endocrinology, The University of Birmingham

Laura Chapman and Bob Jasper, Muscle Health Public and Patient Involvement Group

Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research

We are funded by the Medical Research Council and Versus Arthritis, we are a Centre of Excellence in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ageing Research. We are integrating and expanding complementary research and postgraduate training activity of the two leading Midlands based Universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham, together with their associated NHS hospital trusts.

Versus Arthritis came to life in September 2018 as a result of the merger of two of UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care
