MicroCPD Summary


This MicroCPD equips healthcare professionals (HCPs) with the essential skills to identify, assess, and manage acute emergencies in older adults. With the growing geriatric population, understanding atypical presentations, frailty considerations, and time-sensitive interventions is critical. Participants will explore evidence-based assessment tools, practical management strategies, and multidisciplinary approaches to optimise outcomes for elderly patients presenting with sepsis, stroke, acute coronary syndrome, falls, delirium, and polypharmacy-related complications. By completing this course, HCPs will enhance their ability to provide safe, timely, and effective care for older adults in emergency settings.
