Hi, I'm Lydia... ...and I'm Katy, and we're
the presidents of GeriSoc.
Welcome to clinical school! We hope you've had a good start. We think improving care for elderly patients
is really important. We have an ageing population
and people's needs are becoming increasingly
complex, which requires the input of really
skilful clinicians to meet those.
Our hope for GeriSoc is to raise the profile of geriatrics and to encourage you to consider it as a career.
Even if you don't think you'll become a geriatrician,
it's still so important to know how to meet
the needs of the elderly patients you're going
to care for, and getting involved with GeriSoc
is a great way to do that. It's not clear
exactly what the coming year will look like,
but we plan to hold events on the elderly
care wards, to run a workshop and a conference,
and to hold plenty of cake-filled socials!
Please sign up using your CRSId or give us
a like on Facebook for more info. Thank you!
