“Ageism is not simply a cultural bias. It is a powerful driver of inaction and inequity.”

[Irish Gerontological Society @irishgerontsoc]

IGS President Dr. Emer Ahern’s letter to the editor published in @IrishTimes

“Older adults are entitled to the same dignity, autonomy and human rights as anyone else.”

Dignity and rights don’t expire with age.

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

We are frequently advised that we should change the name of palliative care 'to something less negative.'
But new words will mean the same thing & develop the same associations.
Listen to the wisdom of @Krockdoc about the word 'frailty.'
We have to illuminate our trusted words.

Between sims & socials, #IGS2024 was a great opportunity to showcase the work of the Active Recovery Team (ART) @stjamesdublin to date with a panel & 2 posters presentations @Ao_Dillon

[Edel McDaid @edelphysio]

Thanks to all the team from @WICOPSIM for inviting me to be part of todays live Sim event at #IGS2024

Not every day you get to play a physio in front of a live audience of >200 people 👀

[John Cooke @CookeJohnP]

Great fun & such a privilege bringing @WICOPSIM to @irishgerontsoc IGS 2024. Feels like there’s great potential in gerontological sim. Huge support from @HSE_NSO to help pull it off. All the real credit though goes to the team at WICOP @SouthEastCH @UHW_Waterford

[Irish Gerontological Society @irishgerontsoc]

Calling all NCHDs attending #IGS2024 don't miss this interactive session with Dr. Siobhan Kennelly, hosted by our two IGS NCHD Reps Ciara & Karen.
