Fifth meeting – Liepaja
The cognition meeting in Latvia is about to start
10-14 December 2017
We are looking forward to seeing the key members again and to meeting the new members of the project team! The meeting will be hosted by our partner – Stradina University in Liepaja. After working on the topic of depression, we will focus on cognition – everything connected with memory and other brain functions in the elderly.
Fourth meeting – Ústí nad Labem
The Lucky You project is preparing a study program based on Comprehensive Geriatric assessment. We have already put together the topics of functionality, nutrition and social situation. This time the theme was Depression in the Elderly People.
Our meeting took place in Ústí nad Labem, a city in the north of the Czech Republic and it was organised by VOŠZaSŠZ – the nursing school in this town, 15th – 19th October 2017.
Third meeting – Finland
The topic of the Finnish meeting was social situation of the elderly people. Teachers, medical workers and students form six countries brought their information, materials and ideas together. We could see that in this part of senior life it is not only the laws and regulations or the costs that may be different in every country – the traditions and the way people live in individual countries influence the way of aging fundamentally.
Second meeting – Spain
The second meeting studied another part of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment – Nutrition of the elderly.
There were presentations of individual countries and then three groups studied nutrition in detail.
First meeting – Belgium
The Lucky you project is based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment’s (CGA) five items. We focused on FUNCTIONALITY at our Belgium meeting. Three working days – and we felt that everybody is on board of our project ship.
All the participant countries presented their ideas and shared experiences. We realised we can learn a lot from listening to each other.
The Functionality topic was divided to three fields:
– laws, regulations and prevention
– nursing curriculum and elderly technology
– costs and voice of the elderly
We could listen to experiences of a lady who now presents the advantages of using technology that can help the elderly call for help in emergency situations.
