In-Person Event
May 06 - 08, 2015
Perth, Western Australia, AU
OVERVIEW
A paradigm is a shared understanding by a scientific community. This is constantly adjusted by the scientific method but every so often dramatic paradigm shifts occur.
Delirium was described by the ancient Greeks, yet we still struggle with managing this prevalent scourge of older people. Alasdair MacLullich is Professor of Geriatric Medicine at Edinburgh University and President of the European Delirium Association. Prof MacLullich will share his paradigm of delirium pathophysiology and detection as well as delirium services with us.
Providing relevant services to engage with older aboriginal people has been a major endeavour of Associate Professor Dina Logiudice from Melbourne Health and the Victorian Aboriginal Medical Service. She has an extensive background in cross-cultural assessment and will discuss managing geriatric syndromes in aboriginal people including dementia.
Other plenary topics concern challenging, common clinical issues, which are sometimes neglected. These include: Better management of older people across the acute care interface; Dialysis in older people; Suicide prevention; Epilepsy; and the expanding universe of Teaching Nursing Homes.
