As medical innovation continues to evolve through advances in basic sciences, diagnostics and therapeutic techniques, understanding the mechanisms that drive ageing has become critical in improving health outcomes for older adults. The Royal Society of Medicine's Geriatrics & Gerontology Section annual flagship webinar, Biology of Ageing, returns with a focused exploration of the biological processes behind ageing and the advancing research shaping the next generation of medical interventions. From novel drugs and vaccines to emerging treatment protocols, the programme will examine how recent discoveries are transforming both research and clinical practice in care for older people.
This full-day webinar brings together expert speakers to deliver updates on the latest developments in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect older people. Drawing on emerging research and evolving clinical approaches, the programme will investigate the relationship between biological ageing, frailty and patient care, with a strong emphasis on improving both lifespan and quality of life. As research and clinical practice progress, this webinar delivers a rare, forward-looking update on emerging areas of older adult care often overlooked, including eye health, metabolic and endocrine conditions and perioperative care - offering clinicians insights they are unlikely to find in other CPD events.
