Education, Training and Research
Education and Training: in geriatric care equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to provide safe, effective, and person-centred care for older adults, while community outreach strengthens awareness and support within society. Emphasis on self-care and daily activities promotes independence and improves quality of life, and cultural competence ensures respectful and inclusive care for diverse populations. A key responsibility also includes the recognition and prevention of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation to protect vulnerable individuals.
Research: focus areas include physical health and function, mental health, polypharmacy and medication management, healthcare systems and care models, and the social determinants of health, all aimed at improving ageing outcomes.
Intergenerational programmes: further enhance ageing well-being by promoting shared education, mentoring, community service, creative arts, storytelling, gardening, environmental action, and workforce development, fostering collaboration, understanding, and mutual growth across generations.
