Dr Lucy Pollock: The Golden Rule

We are living longer lives, and have choices now as never before about how we will age. But what will make us happy? What changes, made right now, will help us to flourish as we age?

Dr Lucy Pollock has learnt invaluable lessons from over thirty years of working with older people, from tales of loss, to impossible families, and the importance of learning to live with uncertainty. Medical teams have not always heard the voices of older people or their loved ones. But if we are given power to influence the lives of our future selves, how best shall we use it?

Lucy Pollock has long been grateful for the guidance offered by an early boss, who hoped she would not be offended if he suggested she should specialise in geriatric medicine. Having trained at Cambridge and Bart’s Hospital, Lucy is now a Consultant Geriatrician in Somerset. She has been working with older people for 30 years, and has learned useful things about life from a great many older people. Lucy also wrote The Book About Getting Older.

This event will take place in Weeldon Suites 2 & 3
