This webinar, which took place on 25 March 2025, was hosted by our friends at Cerebral Palsy Scotland as part of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.
The webinar featured a presentation from Kirsty Colquhoun, Consultant Geriatrician, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. Kirsty looked at how cerebral palsy can impact the ageing process, as well as societal barriers that can have a negative impact on how we age with cerebral palsy.
But, it is not all doom and gloom, as Kirsty looked at the positive steps we can take to age well and learn from case studies of older adults with cerebral palsy to show that it is never too old to improve!
