• 2-5pm: MDTea Podcast Research (Rehearsal Room 5)

  The MDTea podcast faculty are running focus groups to examine how podcasts can be used as an educational tool in professional learning. As technology enhanced learning methods become increasingly mainstream as a form of education, it is important that we also advance understanding of the educational validity and role it plays in post-graduate professional development. All members of the MDT are welcome.

  To participate please contact thehearingaidpodcasts [at] gmail [dot] com for a participant information sheet in advance.

• All day: Fringe (Mezzanine)

  Born from the question “could humanities help us resist the inhumanities of life in hospital?" the Fringe explores how the humanities can positively impact on the working lives of geriatricians, the MDT and patients. The Fringe will take place during scheduled breaks in the conference and will include inspiring displays, installations, sessions and activities addressing a wide variety of relevant topics. Make the most of this novel experience alongside the traditional educational content of the conference. It is meant as learning and sharing experience and is suitable for all curious minds.
   

• 1-2pm: Cultural diversity at end of life - world cafe (Exhibition area)

  To complement the workshop on cultural diversity at end of life, which will provide the opportunity to hear from religious leaders about the different end of life priorities that patients may have and discuss some challenging cases, there will be the opportunity to meet the speakers in the exhibition space during the lunch break.
