Welcome Message from the Scientific Committee Co-Chairs
Whether you work in a geriatric discipline or wish to know more about the care of older adult patients whom you might see in your clinic or ward - this important educational event is relevant to you.
In the realm of geriatric care, we will explore significant subjects such as frailty, functional decline, falls, multi-morbidity, digital geriatric medicine, polypharmacy, health prevention/promotion, cardiovascular diseases, nutritional issues, vascular risk factors, chronic kidney disease in older adults, rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary care. Through these discussions, we aim to uncover the latest updates and evidence-based practices that will contribute to global excellence in geriatric medicine.
Simultaneously, we will delve into the critical domain of dementia care. Key topics on the agenda include early detection and diagnosis, treatment options, caregiving strategies, strategies for addressing behavioral and psychological disorders of dementia, mild cognitive impairment, preventive innovations in dementia care, depression, delirium and the latest advancements in research. These discussions will help us navigate the complex challenges surrounding dementia and empower us to provide optimal care for individuals affected by this condition.
We look forward to your active participation at this conference and encourage you to engage in professional networking and knowledge sharing. Together we can make a difference in how we care for the older adults in our society, and how we wish to be treated in the future when we get older and may need medical care.
Your involvement is important - you can submit an abstract to be included in the educational program or simply register to attend and soak up the valuable information.
