Why Geriatric Care?

Geriatrics is the study of medical problems related to the aging process. Providing consistent, integrated care across specific care settings, sometimes called continuity of care, is thus particularly important for elderly patients. Through a series of lectures, discussions, group work, online and self-directed learning key areas related to geriatric care will be explored. As part of this learning process you will analyse, appraise and reflect on geriatric care concepts, including current evidence surrounding common nursing and medical interventions for aged.
