Delighted to host the first of many #outreach workshops, bringing together the public, health professions staff and students, to discuss the future of #ageing education in healthcare 🥳 Featuring stories, readings, and Q+A with the marvellous @lucypgeridoc 🐘🌟

Another fantastic #Keynote from Dr Geoff Wong @asmeofficial #RME2024 - #MedEd research is complex, requiring a realist approach 💡 with an appreciation of context and mechanisms, and not assuming a linear relationship between intervention and outcome/change 🤩

Really fantastic start to @asmeofficial #RME2024 #keynote from @pim_teu about meaningful, and impactful #MedEd research. Particularly interesting discussion about outcome vs growth based curricula - lots of food for thought moving forward with the @GeriSoc UG curriculum 🤔💭

Thank you @asmeofficial for another three days of amazing connections, ideas and inspirations! Great to be part of such a fantastic #MedEd community #ASME2024 @BristolUniBMERG @BrisHealthSci

Wow. Just wow. *Fantastic* session on harnessing #compassion through #SchwartzRounds with the @warwickmed team 🥰💕 what a thought-provoking and inspiring way to end my time at this year’s #ASME2024. In our broken and burnt out NHS it can be hard - I leave feeling encouraged 🫶🏻

Lots of food for thought following @DrRasha_MS & colleagues’ session on #moraldistress and #creativereflection - somehow you unlocked the poet in me 😮👏🏻 #ASME2024

🤯 Amazing @LaraVarpio!! Let’s celebrate all the practicing geriatricians teaching specific, expert, practical wisdom about #geriatricmedicine to #medicalstudents that prepares our workforce for the needs of older patients and the ageing population 💪🏻 #ASME2024

And what a great day to be in #geriatrics #MedEd, with #CompactComms on frailty/delirium simulation, gamification, patient/public involvement, VR in palliative care, multiprofessional simulation, frailty clinics, discharge escape rooms AND MUCH MORE! #excited 🤩 #ASME2024

Exams out of the way, it’s a pleasure to be at @warwickarts for @asmeofficial #ASME2024, just in time for @LaraVarpio’s #keynote 🥳🔥🙌🏻
