"Evidence that Drives Advocacy for Ageing Veterans"
Building on the success of the inaugural conference in 2025 London, the Northern Hub for Veterans & Military Families' Research, in collaboration with the Royal Hospital Chelsea, are proud to host the second Aged Veterans Research Conference.
Insight from our first conference revealed that advocacy for aged veterans is compromised by insufficient evidence. This year's theme, 'Delivering the evidence that will enable advocacy', directly addresses this gap, showcasing the breadth and value of ongoing work across the field.
