Working with Older People has a strong practical focus and encourages innovative service development in implementing the later life agenda. The journal considers the fact that people are living longer and the opportunities that this presents for older people, families, communities and the economy.

Working with Older People welcomes articles that give practical examples of how services are making social inclusion and choice and control a reality for older people, at a time of demographic change. The journal aims to provide a forum for those involved in the field – service providers and service users – to share experiences and ideas, showcase new approaches, explore difficulties and dilemmas, and suggest solutions, with the overall goal of enabling older citizens to enjoy a full and active life and to experience good health and well-being.
