Conclusion

This concludes Learning Object 1. If you have worked through the whole learning object, you will have had the change to explore the nature and characteristics of the ageing population in the UK, what being ‘old’ means, and some of the complexity surrounding the concept of ‘mental health’. You will already have found that many things associated with the topic of ageing and mental health are not as straightforward as they at first seem.

If there is anything that did not seem clear, you might also find it helpful to return to that section and repeat the activity – sometimes things make more sense the second or even third time around!

We have also included a self-assessment section where you can see if you have assimilated the key messages from this learning object. Return to the Start page to access the self-assessment section.
