About this event

  • Date and time Fri 20 Jan 2023 from 9:00am to 5:15pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by Geriatrics and Gerontology

Following the success of previous years, the event Biology of ageing is back with a two-part webinar series to provide healthcare professionals and the interested public with an understanding of the ageing process, the impact of ageing on health and the presentation of diseases in that age group. This flagship meeting will cover the Geriatric Medicine syllabus and the new curriculum.

This first episode will explore the clinical implications of ageing on the endocrine system, the gut, the liver and other organs.

During this webinar, you will understand:

  • The endocrine system, diabetes, balance and how they interact
  • How the gut and liver are intricate
  • How ageing occurs in multiple organs at different speeds

The second episode will focus on how to manage elderly community care and virtual wards. It will also discuss the brain, the bladder and kidneys in the ageing process. To find more information and book your place, please click here.

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered event participants up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.
