Monday 13th to Friday 17th May 2024
Dr Clare Bostock, member of the EICMOA Organising Committee
We’re delighted to be welcoming delegates back to the college in 2024.
The Edinburgh International Course in Medicine for the Older Adult will be delivered in person in 2024, and there will be an excellent line up of speakers from the UK and worldwide to cover a variety of topics relevant to anyone involved in the care of older people.
It is possible to book the five-day course or individual half or full days. Booking for a half day can only be taken on the Wed 15th or Fri 17th.
Delegates will have access to recordings of presentations (not workshops) for six months following the course. Whilst we will not be live-streaming, delegates who can't attend in person will also have access to recordings for six months.
Although of particular value to doctors working in geriatric medicine at consultant or trainee level, many general practitioners, allied health professionals and specialist nurses may also find the course very relevant and worthwhile.
The course is designed to update you on the theory and practice of geriatric medicine with many practical talks, as well as wide-ranging discussions on the holistic management of the older adult.
In 2024 the course will explore the following themes:
- The journey through the hospital
- Neurology
- Psychiatry
- Community
- Surgical links
- Liaison workshops
- Geriatric giants
Delegates will also be invited to participate in a social programme comprising of a welcome drinks reception, a medical-themed walking tour of Edinburgh, and a course dinner at a local restaurant (PLACES FOR THE COURSE DINNER NOW FULLY BOOKED.)
