Partnership

Partnership

The Healthy Ageing Research Group partners with governmental bodies, healthcare institutions, non-governmental organisations, and international collaborators to advance research, innovation and practice in the health, functional capacity and well-being of older adults. These partnerships are aimed to enhance our multidisciplinary capacity in epidemiology, clinical practice, social and community health, data analytics and implementation science—ensuring that our work addresses real-world challenges in ageing populations and informs policy and care.

Governmental and public sector partners

  • Ministry of Health (Jordan) – collaborative studies on frailty prevalence, community screening programmes and national ageing strategies.
  • Jordanian National Council For Family Affairs – contributing to research informing rights, services and integrated care models.
  • Municipal and governorate-level public health departments – implementation of outreach programmes and community‐dwelling older-adult assessments.

Healthcare institutions and service providers

  • University hospitals and primary care centres – joint clinical and translational research on older-adult care pathways, integration of the Electronic Frailty Index and the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS).
  • Private hospitals in Jordan
  • Long-term care facilities and community care networks – co-design of frailty screening, interventions and monitoring protocols.

Non-governmental organisations and community groups

  • Local NGOs focused on older adults' welfare – partnership in health-promotion, social-engagement and functional-capacity programmes. These include Al Oun Jordan Association for Alzheimer’s Disease (AJAAD).
  • Professional associations (gerontology, geriatrics, family medicine) such as the Canadian Geriatric Society, the British Geriatric Society and the European Geriatric Medicine Society – collaborative education, training and dissemination of evidence-based guidelines in older-adult care.

International research and academic partners

  • Universities and research centres worldwide – joint publications, data-sharing initiatives (e.g., on electronic frailty indices, convergent validity studies), and multi‐centre collaborations in ageing research.
  • International bodies (e.g., WHO, Ageing and Life Course programme, International Institute on Ageing (INIA)​) – capacity-building, knowledge exchange and alignment with global ageing strategies.
  • Industry partners and health-technology organisations – development and validation of digital tools for frailty screening, remote monitoring and Age-in-Place initiatives.
  • Geriatric Medicine and Social work Academic Societies ​
