Invitation
The Swedish Society of Medicine is inviting to a 3-day international conference called “Personalized Geriatric Medicine”, in Stockholm/Sweden August 20-22, 2014. The conference is arranged in collaboration with the Swedish Society for Geriatric Medicine, European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS), Karolinska Institutet and The Swedish Research Council.
The program will focus on management of individual frail, multimorbid elderly people over time in relation to medical quality, patient safety, education/training and research/development. World leading researchers are invited as speakers and will present state-of-the-art lectures. We aim to highlight the potential of Geriatric Medicine to improve the quality of multi-domain analysis, management/care and follow-up over time in individual multimorbid, elderly people. The potential of the medical record to serve as a much longed for “geroscope” will be highlighted. Each symposium day includes group discussions, where the participants and speakers meet to discuss various themes more personal and in-depth.
The conference is hoped to attract scientists, clinicians from different medical specialities, health care staff groups, stakeholders and others with interest in various aspects of improving health care, assessment and managment/care of multimorbid, elderly people.
