British Geriatrics Society Spring conference 2022
Age and Ageing is the journal of the British Geriatrics Society, which also produces two scientific conferences every year to provide a forum for geriatricians and other professionals associated with older people's health care. Programmes cover a wide range of cutting-edge research presentations and clinical updates in areas affecting older people's care. The invited guest speakers are specifically chosen for their expertise in these topics.
The programme of the BGS Spring Conference 2022 covers the latest scientific research and the best clinical practice in the care of older people. Our ageing population is stimulating extensive NHS service redesign to deal with the challenge of caring for larger numbers of older people both in and out of hospitals. This conference will cover core areas of interest to all specialists responsible for the health care of older people.
This collection of Age and Ageing papers has been selected to complement the programme of the 2022 Spring conference which will be delivered virtually on 6-8th April. We hope delegates and those who are following the conference with #BGSconf enjoy some further reading.
