Webinar: Update in gerontology and future of healthcare

Join the first webinar of the new academic year to learn about advances in medicine in older people as well as topics which are relevant in the current NHS, including the changing healthcare and the need for cost control.

Participants will learn about growth areas in gerontology, the recent advances in cardiovascular disease in the elderly, syncope and its variants and gut microbiota, the star of most diseases. Finally, the Presidential lecture will look at the overlap between Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, two neurodegenerative disorders with similarities and differences.

This unique meeting will feature key speakers such as the President of the British Geriatric Society Professor Adam Gordon talking about the future of older people, both in the hospital and in the community, and the Director of Medical Education in Southwest London will discuss the workforce crisis that is about to hit us and that we are currently dealing with. 

During this webinar, you will:

Learn about cardiovascular disease in the elderly, new areas in syncope and the ageing gut

Update on the new developments in gut microbiota as a precursor for diseases in older people

Understand the differences and similarities between Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease and advances in older people

Learn about healthcare, its future in an uncertain world and the healthcare crisis.
