IFA Copenhagen Summit on Cognitive Reserve
24 — 25 October 2019
There are many important principles and lessons that public health researchers and advocates who hope to influence policy and practice need to consider.  Advocacy to advance and defend health, medical and social policies that can impact on whole populations is informed by a sparse and often mercurial evidence base. Public health history has many examples of radical policy and behavioural transformations ignited by deliberate efforts at promoting change.
Prof Simon Chapman an internationally respected public health advocate who will draw on case studies from efforts to frame and reframe public health debates in areas like tobacco and gun control, public safety and promoting renewable energy to bring oxygen to the conversation on promoting policies to enhance cognitive reserve.
Program, registration, sponsorship opportunities and additional logistic information are available on the summit website.
The Age-Friendly Basque Country Project has produced a Guide to Friendly Housing. The aim is to offer simple and useful information that can be used to assess older individuals needs and give advice for the adaptation of the home. The Guide is divided into sections according to the rooms that structure the house (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, etc.) and includes advice and recommendations per room type.
A Guide to Friendly Housing is available as a PDF file online in Spanish and Basque.

The IFA is pleased to have launched the report “the Secondary Benefits of Influenza Vaccination.” A key finding of the review is the evidence that the annual flu shot may have a protective effect in addition to preventing or reducing the severity of infection. The influenza vaccine has been shown to reduce the incidence and severity of respiratory and cardiovascular exacerbations, and in lowering rates of acute events such as heart attack or stroke. The review also found that being vaccinated against influenza has a role in preventing functional decline among older people, and the incidence of frailty.
Findings from this report can be used to catalyze improved policy and inform interventions to increase vaccination coverage. The IFA encourages you to read and share this report widely, including on social media.
More than 5 million people globally are affected by meningitis each year. Meningitis global rates have dropped only 53% between 1990 and 2017 while other vaccine-preventable diseases have seen global rates drop by 70-90%.
This needs to change, your voice matters.
Help defeat meningitis by filling out a quick survey explaining one thing you would prioritise to help defeat meningitis.
Your views will help develop a global plan that will address what is needed by people at risk of or affected by meningitis.
