#ActivitiesStrong 15 - a podcast by Lucas McCurdy and Joshua Crisp

Like most other developed countries, the United Kingdom is challenged to provide the service infrastructure, societal changes, and healthcare systems to ensure its citizens continue to thrive throughout their life course. Their National Health Service is heralded as one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Today it is heralded as broken. Listen in to learn from another system of care and learn insights that can apply to your own community!

This episode focuses on a facet of the UK's healthcare system; its model of long-term care and how older adults are currently engaged. We explore the origins of the model, its progression over the last 180 years, and why it is time for revolutionary thinking and radical action when it comes to providing meaningful and purposeful care and engagement for older adults. We must now dig deep to unlock our creative and inventive potential, if we are to provide people with what they need and deserve in a new age.

Jackie Marshall-Cyrus discusses the development of the long-term model of care in the UK, the imperative for change, and the Quiet Revolution focused on disrupting the status quo in this system with strategies that can be applied in other systems of care worldwide.

Be inspired and understand that change does not begin with concrete ideas; it begins with a conscience and courage.

What you will take away from this episode:

• Understand the history and development of the UK's adult health and social care long-term care model and how these insights can help them better understand their own model of care and its impact on resident engagement
• Gain insight into the dynamics of long-term care in the UK pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic and learn strategies for how to improve resident engagement in their own communities
• Outline the imperative, philosophy, and vision behind Jackie's Revolution and how they can start their own initiative to improve resident engagement for older adults
