Raising the Standard: Promising Practices in Geriatric Care
November 6, 2025 – 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. EST
Poster Abstract Submission:
New for NESGC’s 2025 Geriatric Refresher Day, we’re introducing a poster presentation session to showcase innovation, research, quality improvement projects, program outcomes, and best practices in caring for older adults across our region. No previous research or poster experience required. This is a chance to highlight your efforts, learn from peers, and foster knowledge exchange in a collegial and supportive environment.
Conference Description
This virtual conference will feature promising practices in geriatric care, offering practical, evidence-informed education for healthcare professionals who support older adults across the continuum. Sessions will highlight strategies to strengthen person-centred, collaborative, and integrated approaches helping teams raise the standard for how they serve frail and medically complex older adults. Speakers and topics were thoughtfully selected to support learners with varying degrees of experience in geriatrics, from front line clinicians to system leaders.
Objectives
At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Integrate promising practices that align with the Standard of Care to enhance outcomes for older adults living with or at risk of frailty.
- Integrate a person-centred approach that engages care partners and caregivers, and prioritizes what matters most to older adults in equitable, culturally appropriate care planning and delivery across the continuum.

This conference is open to all health care professionals with an interest in geriatrics, including:
- Physicians (Primary Care and Specialists)
- Nurses (RN, RPN and Nurse Practitioners)
- Allied health professionals and support staff (OT, PT, SW, SLP, PSW, OTA, PTA)
