Past Events

This event is intended for clinicians and healthcare professionals working with older people who have undergone a fall, or are at risk of falling. Building upon the past conferences in Malaysia and Australia, the two days will include keynote presentations from experts in the field, workshops and plenary sessions demonstrating best practice approaches available. We hope you will make contacts and start collaborations which will continue on from this meeting.

This important and timely conference will focus on improving care for hip fracture patients – learning from the September 2025 NHFD findings, and improving progress against the Key Performance Indicators and NICE quality standard for hip fracture. Through national updates and practical case studies the conference will highlight best practice in hip fracture care, improving the care pathway, patient experience and outcomes. This conference will focus on improving assessment, minimised delays to theatre, improving the pathway from falls to theatre, changing the role of the emergency department, ensuring hip fracture patients are prioritised for surgery, improve patient experience of hip fracture care, overcome contraindications, improving the anaesthetic and surgical pathway, and ensuring prompt mobilisation after surgery.
