In-personThe RANZCP Faculty of Psychiatry of Old Age are pleased to present their 2023 conference which will focus on the theme of "Ageing in the contemporary era".
This year our conference aims to introduce the concept of old age psychiatry to the younger generation by introducing a "speed dating/networking" and panel on the afternoon of Wednesday 8 November. We also have a diverse array of speakers and presentations with an international old age psychiatrist as well as a session for trainees to present their Scholarly Project over 2 days. There will be also be a trainee education morning workshop on Saturday 11 November. This diverse and interactive program will showcase ageing in the contemporary era.
