Event Details...
Following three successful workshops on the Oral Health of Older Australians, The Centre for Education and Ageing, at the Concord Clinical School of the University of Sydney and the Department of Aged Care and Rehabilitation at Concord Hospital is responding to requests for a series of clinically-based seminars for dental personnel on managing the oral health care of medically compromised older people and those in residential aged care facilities.
This program will provide an overview to understanding medically compromised older patients from the perspective of a consultant geriatrician, and a series of case histories presented for discussion and analysis, by dentists providing care in hospital, residential care and private dental practice settings.
A discussion session will follow which will provide a forum for experiences of general dental practitioners providing domiciliary dental care to residential aged care facilities. Finally the program will provide an overview of the role prevention and carer education can play in maintaining oral health for frail elderly and those in residential facilities.
On completion of the program participants should have a clear view of what risk factors are important in dental care for frail elderly people, what oral health care can be delivered in domiciliary settings, when and how referral for specialist clinical care can be best achieved and how preventive programs can be effective in maintaining good oral health for those with compromised general health.
