The 2021 Spring Meeting will be held in association with the Irish Gerontological Society. The meeting will be an opportunity to hear about the latest scientific research and the best clinical practice in the healthcare of older people. It will be an opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary year of the pandemic, the effect COVID has had on the older population, and the implications for NHS and social care staff across acute, primary and community care. This conference will cover core areas of interest to all specialists responsible for the health care of older people. It will particularly focus on dementia and related mental health topics, on innovations in digital health, and on acute stroke medicine.

Distance Learning
For the 2020/21 CPD year there will be no limit to the number of external credits that can be claimed for distance learning. In addition to the maximum of 10 approved distance learning credits, you may add under the ‘Add Approved Entry’ tab, you may also add unlisted distance learning under the ‘Add Self-Certified Entry’ tab under the ‘Distance Learning’ sub-section. You will need to add them as an ‘External Self-Certified Distance Learning, Clinical or Non-Clinical’. Reading articles in online journals and e-libraries that are not approved should still be recorded as personal self-certified distance learning. Online mandatory training required by your employer should still be recorded as internal CPD.
