SUMMARY:Workshop: International Perspectives on Defining and Measuring the Needs of Older LGBTQIA+ People
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will examine how we define and measure the distinct needs of older LGBTQIA+ people\, drawing on international perspectives and evidence of challenges such as social isolation\, mental health disparities\, barriers to care\, and discrimination\, to highlight key gaps and areas of inconsistency in how these needs are recognised.  \nWe will bring together global scholars\, care practitioners\, and community representatives for evidence sharing\, discussion\, and fostering future collaborative work. \n\nWe warmly invite researchers\, practitioners\, and community advocates to register for this workshop. Abstract submissions are also welcome from those wishing to present. Please click on the tabs above to do so. \nThe day will include: \n\nShort presentations from international researchers and practitioners\nA facilitated plenary discussion exploring what a future international ‘core needs’ framework should contain\n\nThis workshop will explore the distinct needs of older LGBTQIA+ people\, drawing on international perspectives to identify gaps in research\, policy\, and practice. Older LGBTQIA+ adults represent a growing and diverse population who face unique challenges as they age\, which can include increased social isolation\, higher rates of mental health difficulties\, barriers in accessing health and social care\, and persistent experiences of discrimination. Despite these challenges\, their needs are not well recognised within ageing\, frailty\, and palliative care research (among other areas)\, as well as in health and social care practice more broadly. \nThis workshop will be framed around a recent scoping review\, which synthesises the ways older LGBTQ+ people’s holistic needs have been recognised in research and in holistic need identification tools used in health and social care practice. The scoping review has identified both strengths and limitations in existing approaches\, revealing the lack of consensus on what constitutes the distinct and pressing needs for people who identify under this banner. We will bring together global scholars\, care practitioners\, and community representatives with a stake in this area\, for evidence sharing\, discussion\, and fostering future collaborative work. \nUpon registering you may be invited\, subject to available spaces\, to an optional e-Delphi consensus exercise that will be undertaken prior to the workshop commencing. This is aimed at developing identifying a set of ‘core needs’ for older LGBTQIA+ people with the ambition of starting to develop an international framework. \nORGANISERS \nDr Richard Green\, School of Health Sciences\, University of Surrey \nDr Milton Crenitte\, Geriatrician\, University of São Paulo \nDr Sarah Combes\, School of Health Sciences\, University of Surrey \nDr Ashok Jammigumpula\, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry\, Manipal Academy of Higher Education \nOrganised in partnership with the Centre of Excellence on Ageing \nFull programme to be announced with expected timings of 11:00-16:00 BST \nRegister
