Perioperative Care of Older People Undergoing Surgery

Since 2016, perioperative medicine for older people has been included in the optional higher level competency grid for the Geriatric Medicine Curriculum. However the introduction of geriatric medicine specialists into complex surgical environments is highly challenging, and evidence of successful service developments is sparse. With the increased pressure on budgets, making the case for funding to develop new services without robust evidence is also difficult.

This elearning course, designed by the growing group of dedicated clinicians from across geriatric medicine, surgery and anaesthetics, will present case studies and lessons learned when developing services and gathering evidence for the effectiveness of structured elderly medicine input into surgical care pathways for older people. 


Oncogeriatrics

Cancer is often considered as a disease of ageing, and with increasing demand on services, more health professionals are becoming involved in caring for patients with cancer. This elearning course begins with an overview of oncology and then focuses on geriatric oncology 'oncogeriatrics'.

The course then focuses on patient assessment, including CGA, and prepares you for the final module, which considers the cancer patient journey.

This course is suitable for a range of health professionals and has been developed with input from pharmacists, GPs, occupational therapists, nurses, nutritionists and physiotherapists.
