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.

Part 2 of the series will examine recent advancements in ageing population care as well as community and virtual ward management strategies for the older population. Additionally, gain information about how the brain changes with ageing.

During this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Virtual wards for older people in the community
  • The bladder, the brain and the kidney in the ageing process

Part 1 will explore the clinical implications of ageing on the endocrine system, the gut, the liver and other organs. To find more information and book your place, please click here.
