Register for the APHN’s webinar on ‘Geriatrics and Palliative Care for Older People’ on 5th March, 2025, 12:00 p.m. (IST)
Registrations are invited for the Asia Pacific Hospice and Palliative Care Network’s (APHN) webinar on ‘Geriatrics and Palliative Care for Older People’ slated for Wednesday, 5th March, 2025, between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. (IST)
The insightful webinar will be presented by Prof. David Currow (Hon. Professor, University of Wollongong, Australia). The webinar will highlight the importance of meeting the needs of people with a life-limiting illness which requires a multi-disciplinary approach to care. Older people are likely to have additional needs that require special consideration. This includes: chronic symptoms and active co-morbidities; the risk of frailty being accelerated; and multiple long-term medications that are mostly unrelated to their life-limiting illness. The role of caregivers, if this is a spouse, will also need special consideration.
The webinar will conclude with an opportunity for participants to engage with Prof. Currow during the discussion segment.
