NHS Healthy Aging Guide - Available Now!
Looking back, I can see I’ve been a bit worried about myself for a while. It’s not as though I was ill or anything, but just a feeling that I’ve sort of slowed down – things being more of an effort... So I checked out the guide and sure enough found I needed new glasses, and the hearing aid has been a real boon... All-in-all, feel I’m back in control again.

NHS England, in partnership with other organisations, has published a Practical Guide to Healthy Ageing, designed to help people who are getting older to stay physically and mentally well. The Guide provides hints and tips on how to keep fit and stay independent and recognises that, with the right know-how, we can all do things to improve our own health and wellbeing.
The guide includes:
- Try at home tests
- Chapters on looking after yourself and keeping active
- How to manage medications and vaccinations
- Preventing falls
- Creating an action plan
Free copies of the guide are available to local care and health organisations.
If you would like to order some for your organisation, please email england.clinicalpolicy@nhs.net and provide your organisation's name, address, contact details and the number of guides you wish to order. There is no limit on numbers ordered, as long as supplies are available.
