Ethical and Legal Issues in the Care of Older People Conference - 30 November

Ethical and Legal Issues in the Care of Older People

30th November 2006, London

This landmark conference, organised by the patient safety charity Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), brings together some of the leading experts in older people’s healthcare and the medico-legal world. It should be of interest to anyone with an interest in the care of older people; older people’s rights; and ethical and medico-legal issues concerning the care of older people. The conference is supported by Help the Aged.

The care of older people presents an ever increasing range of ethical and legal issues for health professionals and policy makers, not to mention older people themselves and their carers, ranging from who should have access to treatment to how and when people should be allowed to die. There is growing concern over perceived discrimination against older people in health and social care and the quality of care that is provided. Older people and their carers and advocates face a confusing regulatory landscape and barriers to accessing justice.

The organiser, Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is a registered charity promoting patient safety and justice. Any surplus revenue from this event will be ploughed into AvMA’s charitable work. Rates: £195 voluntary sector; £295 public sector; £395 commercial (plus vat). Discounts available for group booking.
