Our next Global Ageing interview as part of the Global Older People’s Care & Support Day 2024 is from the United Kingdom, with Dr Dwight Tse, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland.
the interview, the Dr Dwight Tse expressed gratitude for the chance to share their work at GAN and engage in meaningful discussions. He also recently secured an international research grant for a three-year project examining the impact of extreme heat on older adults’ health, involving teams from Canada, Sweden, Israel, and Hong Kong.
Despite early successes, challenges include involving researchers from the Global South and increasing awareness about the vulnerability of older adults to extreme heat. Future plans focus on collecting first-hand data, engaging stakeholders, and comparing international policies to enhance the project’s impact.
