Risky Business 2 – The International Dementia Conference

June 26-27, 2014 Sydney, Australia

How do we support people with dementia to live their lives well? 

Are we really delivering care that is personal to the person with dementia and their carer?

What changes did you make after Risky Business 2012?

Risky Business 2 – this time it's personal! will consider the opportunities and challenges confronting care for people with dementia.  Inappropriate use of anti-psychotic medication, delivering the right hospital care alongside the changes needed in community, day and residential services are some of the issues that will be considered during this three day event.

The International Dementia Conference will feature highly regarded international and national keynote speakers, numerous invited speakers, academic and research papers, case studies, workshops and poster presentations . This will be an opportunity like no other to network and engage with industry leaders and experts from all over the world.  As well as an international standard conference, a major component of the event will be the extensive Trade Exhibition that will showcase the best of what the industry has to offer. Leading exhibitors from around the globe will display products, services and innovations in this world standard exhibition. In addition to the delegates, it is anticipated that many visitors will attend the free exhibition.

New to this conference, we'll begin in the afternoon of the 25th July with a free event open to the public. Themed as an afternoon tea and information event, it will include presentations on the latest thinking on dementia and provide an opportunity for discussion and support to carers and people with dementia. Presentations and the afternoon tea will take place in the heart of the exhibition. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to share their products and services with the wider public, and equip them with information

The conference is for everyone involved in supporting people with dementia or developing their expertise in the field.

Sarcopenia 2013: Where Are We Now? An Update on Aetiology, Diagnosis and Management

9th July 2013 London, United Kingdom

Conference theme

This one day accredited conference will provide a clinical and research update on the important new geriatric syndrome of sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with advancing age and there is increasing recognition that it is central to frailty, disability, morbidity and mortality in older people as well as increasing use of health and social care.

It is the focus of intense research activity both in terms of understanding aetiology and developing interventions and there has been considerable recent progress in how sarcopenia should be defined. Yet to date, it is clear that recognition of sarcopenia in the clinical setting lags behind.

This conference aims to provide clinicians and researchers with an update on recent developments in understanding the aetiology of sarcopenia together with practical approaches for its diagnosis and management in clinical practice.

Opportunity to exchange knowledge and share experiences will be of key importance and emphasis will be placed on encouraging new areas of research and young researchers
