Dublin, Ireland
29 Sept - 1 Oct 2010 There is a strong tradition of research and education in geriatric medicine within Ireland, and Irish geriatric medicine (the largest internal medicine specialty in the country) has not only a prominent national profile but has also strongly supported the EUGMS since its foundation. Geriatric medicine is a cutting edge specialty within Europe, and is critical to the provision of effective healthcare for an ageing Europe. The 2010 conference theme of Geriatric Medicine: New Challenges, New Techniques and New Technologies harnesses the existing strengths of geriatric medicine to meet the new challenges of demography in the European Union and the changing economic climate by incorporating the rapid developments in many fields of technological development. The Congress will also feature EUGMS initiatives in areas such as medication licensing and older people, sarcopaenia, falls, vaccines and palliative care. > For more information visit: EUGMS Website
