HSMC’s Professor Jon Glasby and Dr Kerry Allen were part of an international research team in the 3-year EU study of long-term care, INTERLINKS. The findings of this study have been published as a book challenging the prevailing discourse centred on the problems of demographic change and long-term care provision for older people. The book focuses on emerging solutions building on ample research in 13 European countries, evidence is provided for how the construction of long-term care systems can be taken forward.
