We hope you can join Fiona Carragher, Deputy Chief Scientific Officer for NHS England, to hear from her and key stakeholders across all health and social care sectors about the most recently achieved objectives of the Action Plan on Hearing Loss. Initiatives around commissioning and supporting those with hearing loss will be shared.

The theme for World Hearing Day this year is “Hear the future”. This then will be reflected in our event as we share the latest updates on:

• The Action Plan on Hearing Loss: Responding to the challenge, working with local authorities and system partners, guidance for care homes, mental health and children’s services
• Why ‘Hear the Future’ is vital:  In the last five years hearing loss has risen from 10th to 4th largest global disability burden
• Living well with hearing Loss:  Meeting the challenge of dementia and mental health
• Addressing the challenge in hearing loss prevention: How research into hearing loss prevention by the military could shape the future
