We cannot care for an ageing population with an under-educated workforce.

UK medical students get only ~4 weeks of geriatrics teaching.

The emerging role of geriatric student-led societies.

@GeriSoc @RCPhysicians

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

With an ageing population, older adults are the most frequent users of health and social care services, yet geriatric medicine remains under-represented in many medical school curriculums.

How could geriatric medicine student societies help? @BMJStudent

Another wicked Plenary at @anzahpe #ANZAHPE2025 from Prof Cleland - When we rely on old approaches to new problems we fail to understand the unique complexity of each wicked problem, and we become captives of the carousel 🎠

[Dr Grace Pearson (she/her) @GraceInvaders]

Brilliant start to @anzahpe #ANZAHPE2025 with @dcapurro - ask not how can we use AI in health professions education, but what can health professions educators do to train AI! 🤔 What lessons can be learnt from *us* to train AI in a way that will improve healthcare? 💭
