Have you ever wondered how to go about tackling the tricky subject of getting older with loved ones who are doing just that? How to start those taboo conversations about whether dad should hang up his driving gloves, or what happens when an elderly friend or relative become incapable of living alone?
Then this episode is for you.
My guest, geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock’s speciality and passion is the care of older people, and she has written a wonderful book – The Book About Getting Older. A book which gives its readers the power to have these difficult conversations.
We explore the important topics of movement, frailty, the ethics of getting older and how to ensure people retain their sense of personal power as they age. Part of that is recognising that older people are really repositories of history that we can all learn a huge amount from.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Lucy.
