Common topics in the management of elderly care
Wednesday 16 June 2010
Venue: Liverpool Cathedral, St James House, 20 St James Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 7AZ
This conference follows on from previous successful meetings held over the past two consecutive years in different regions dealing with the ever increasing issues of Elderly Care. We aim to further update doctors (in primary and secondary care) and other health professionals on the different and challenging topics faced in medical problems of older people. This conference brings together a range of speakers who have considerable expertise in their specialist areas of geriatric medicine, psychiatry and oncology, many of whom are regarded as national experts.
As the number of older people in the population grows, doctors and health professionals will increasingly be involved in the management of this vulnerable group.
