KT-EQUAL is a consortium of UK researchers dedicated to extending quality life for older and disabled people.

We work to ensure that years of investment in high-quality research translate into real benefits that have an impact on people's lives.

What we do

We set out to show how ageing and disability research can make a difference to people's lives.

• We bring together researchers, policymakers and service users to focus on the issues that are important to older and disabled people.
• We influence regulations and good practice across a range of industries -- including inclusive product design, rehabilitation, and the built environment.
• We gather and share knowledge and expertise about people’s health and wellbeing, independent living, self-management and quality of life.
• We seek out the views and involvement of older and disabled people and their advocates.
