The Conference offered an opportunity to debate with international academics, policy makers and other experts key policy issues related to organisation, delivery, funding and regulation of long-term care services.

The ILPN Conference aimed to:

• Strengthen the links between the research community, policy makers and long- term care industry
• Foster research collaborations to develop new evidence in areas where knowledge gaps exist in LTC
• Promote the sharing of evidence on LTC policy and practice
• Promote international comparative policy analysis to encourage evidence-based policy making.
