British Geriatrics Society April 2010 22-24 April 2010 Welcome On behalf of the local Organising Committee, I would like to invite you to come to Edinburgh for the British Geriatrics Society Spring Meeting on 22-24 April 2010. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its mediaeval Old Town and Georgian New Town designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and it was declared the first UNESCO City of Literature. The conference will be held in the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, a state of the art building, and conference accommodation is booked nearby in the heart of the Old Town. Edinburgh is easy to reach by air, train or road. The scientific programme covers a wide range of topics and choosing highlights is a matter of personal choice. On Friday afternoon we have a joint session with the British Association of Stroke Physicians with a series of presentations by leading figures in stroke medicine. Anyone interested in running a stroke service will not want to miss this. We also have a session devoted to geriatric medicine in developing countries and a Continence Masterclass. The Marjory Warren lecture is being given by Professor David Stott from Glasgow, a champion of clinical research in older people, especially in vascular disease and cognitive impairment. The external speaker is Professor Sir Neil Douglas, Professor of Sleep Medicine in Edinburgh and current Chair of the joint Royal Colleges who will be enlightening us on the subject of sleep in older people.
