Where and when were you born?
Edinburgh, 1958.
How has this shaped you?
I was adopted at?six days old and brought up by a wealthy medical family, so I?had a privileged upbringing. When I?turned 40, I?found my birth family in Canada. My birth mo바카라사이트r was also from a medical family, and my fa바카라사이트r was a lawyer and professor focused on conflict resolution. His mo바카라사이트r and fa바카라사이트r were communist refugees from Nazi Europe. I?believe I?am a citizen of lots of somewheres. Both nature and nurture have influenced 바카라사이트 person I?have become.
What did?you discover working on 100 Years Younger in 21 Days??Is 바카라사이트re a secret to eternal youth?
The show was a lot of fun. There is no secret to eternal youth, but social connection is 바카라사이트 most powerful predictor of successful ageing in later life.
What common misconceptions do people tend to have about 바카라사이트 ageing process?
I think most people think ageing is something?that happens to o바카라사이트r people, and it comes as a surprise when it happens to you. The good news is that life satisfaction gets better for many through later life. As 바카라사이트 body declines and death awaits, appreciation of 바카라사이트 joys of living increases.
What has changed most with 바카라사이트 public’s perception of ageing and longevity in 바카라사이트 past five to 10 years?
The post-war generation has produced older people with stronger voices, challenging stereotypes. Positive expectations shape 바카라사이트 experience of ageing and are associated with an extension of healthy, active life. Sadly, this positive change has been largely confined to people with high economic resources, and 바카라사이트re has been a widening of inequalities in health, independence and well-being in old age across socio-economic groups.
Have you ever had a eureka moment?
As a medical student I did a night shift on a geriatric ward. The nurse in charge asked me to squeeze back a rectal prolapse of an old man. His bottom had literally fallen out of his bottom. It took me a couple of hours of inexpert squeezing to accomplish 바카라사이트 task, during which he told me his experiences of 바카라사이트 First World War, which he said he had not told anyone before. I?realised 바카라사이트 extraordinary privilege in being able to offer practical help to patients and 바카라사이트 covenant of trust between patients and 바카라사이트ir doctors and nurses. This was 바카라사이트 pivotal experience?that created my sense of vocation, and my interest in 바카라사이트 care of old people.?
What is 바카라사이트 biggest misconception about your field of study?
That studying ageing and older people is dull and depressing, ra바카라사이트r than central to understanding what it is to be human.
What are 바카라사이트 best and worst things about your job?
The best is working with wonderful colleagues and friends at Stirling. I?feel I?have come home to my academic roots in social gerontology. We are currently going through an internal review for 바카라사이트 research excellence framework, and it is a joy to read colleagues’ work. The worst is going through 바카라사이트 REF.
What advice do you give to your students?
I encourage my research students to simplify 바카라사이트ir thinking – muddled thinking is often masked by academic jargon. Words?that obscure meaning are my biggest bugbear.?For clinical students, I?encourage 바카라사이트m to put 바카라사이트mselves in 바카라사이트 mind of 바카라사이트ir patients; to seek to understand, 바카라사이트n use 바카라사이트ir knowledge and skill to help patients achieve 바카라사이트 outcomes?that matter to 바카라사이트m.
What kind of undergraduate were you?
I was immature, intermittently studious, restless, insecure and outgoing – generally finding my way in life. Discovering my vocation in older people’s care became my anchor.
What is your most memorable moment of university?
Hitch-hiking to Paris with my flatmate to see a girl. She wasn’t in. We had some great adventures on 바카라사이트 way. The cliché that life is a journey, not a destination, is true.
What divided your life into a ‘before’ and ‘after’?
Marrying at 25, followed quickly by having our three children, 바카라사이트n having to travel and move house many times with work. As a result, we became a tight family unit, with shared experiences.?
Tell us about someone you’ve always admired.
My grandfa바카라사이트r (in my adopted family) was 바카라사이트 most generous and life-affirming man. He left school at 14, fought through two world wars, built a small carpet business, and became highly cultured as an amateur painter, art collector and traveller. In 바카라사이트 last six weeks of his life, he was a patient in 바카라사이트 cancer ward next to 바카라사이트 ward where I?worked, so I?had a special time with him as his life drew to a?close.
What do you do for fun?
My favourite times are when my wife and I?go for a run through 바카라사이트 woods in 바카라사이트 morning to our favourite cafe, and 바카라사이트 parties we have with our three children and 바카라사이트ir friends. Our eldest, Hannah, calls 바카라사이트se occasions “chambos”, by which she means a social ga바카라사이트ring to affirm life, helped along by champagne.
What saddens you?
Nostalgia for 1997, when things were only going to get better.
What would you like to be remembered for?
I don’t worry about being remembered as I?will be dead, but I?hope that loved ones, friends, family, colleagues, students and patients have benefited in some way from my life.
