CPD Study Day : Challenges in perioperative care of the elderly surgical patient

The CPD Study Day is designed to cover the essentials you need to keep up to date with your revalidation in anaesthesia.

During the day there will be ample opportunity to ask questions of the expert speakers who will be happy to answer queries at all levels. The day covers a variety of topics and our aim is that no delegate should leave for home with unanswered questions about any of the subjects.

Lectures include;

- Demographic and socio challenges of an ageing surgical population
- Cognitive dysfunction following General Anaesthesia
- Mental capacity and consent in the aged individual
- Perioperative risk assessment in the elderly
- Considerations in the care of the elderly ICU patient
- Optimal preoperative management of the aged hip fracture patient
- Pharmacological considerations of neuroaxial and regional anaesthesia in the elderly
- Developing a surgical liaison service for the aged patient
