Ageing concerns us all, as global populations continue to grow and live longer. The Annual David Hobman Lecture brings audiences the opportunity to explore concepts of ageing, including the social, economic and policy consequences of ageing populations in both developed and developing worlds.
The Annual Lecture was set up in memory of David Hobman CBE, who was the first director of Age Concern England and Chairman of the Age Concern Institute of Gerontology at King's College London, set up in 1986.
It is organised by the King's Institute of Gerontology and in previous years, in partnership with Age UK.
