Research concerning elderly populations at EMGO+

Last Tuesday we show cased our research concerning elderly populations. The focus was especially on research conducted by the departments of General Practice, Nursing Home Medicine, Public & Occupational Health and Medical Humanities, i.e. the 'extramural' departments of the VU University Medical Center. Professor Guy Widdershoven chaired the afternoon symposium. Professor Dorly Deeg provided an overview of the history and scope of research among the elderly at the VU University and its medical center; Professor Henriette van der Horst shared her thoughts on the future of such research. A panel of project leaders provided their reactions to these introductions, which gave input for a general discussion with the audiende. Finally, more than 50 posters on relevant recent research were presented and discussed.
