Join us for an evening with Dr Lucy Pollock
Published on 23 July 2024 08:57 AM
Join us for an entertaining and thought-provoking evening, as consultant geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock shares her experiences of over thirty years of working with older people and those close to them and chats about her new book The Golden Rule.
Dr. Lucy Pollock, drawing from her experience of over thirty years of working with older people and those close to them, offers valuable insights on ageing. Her first book, The Book About Getting Older, serves as a comprehensive guide for older people and their loved ones, addressing challenging questions about later life. Building on this, Dr. Lucy’s new book, The Golden Rule, uses real-life stories to illustrate how these experiences can be applied to improve both society and healthcare systems for older people, in both the present and the future. In her own words, her talk will “make you laugh, cry a bit, and think a lot”

About Dr Lucy Pollock:
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. She trained at Cambridge and at Bart’s Hospital and is now a Consultant Geriatrician in Somerset where she has worked for over 20 years and has learned useful things about life from a great many older people. She is the author of The Book About Getting Older and The Golden Rule. X: @lucypgeridoc
