It was a pleasure to join Lord Jitesh Gadhia and Sir Jonathan Symonds, Chair, GSK at the House of Lords Oliver Wyman Forum for a discussion on The Longevity Imperative—a conversation that proved more timely than ever.
The key question we explored was whether the tide was finally turning. Could we move beyond outdated narratives of ageing as a burden and instead recognise the economic and social opportunities that longer lives create?
Our discussion examined how the UK—and the broader OECD—could transform longevity into a national strength. We looked at how prevention-focused policies, improved workforce participation, and long-term investment in health and wellbeing could reshape outcomes for individuals, governments, firms, and investors.
For those who attended, thank you for being part of a thoughtful and forward-looking conversation on how health, productivity, and prevention must guide the future of ageing.
