​​​​The 17th National Medicine for
Old Age Psychiatry Conference
Monday 2nd & Wednesday 3rd December 2024, London


Welcome,

The MFOAP team have decided to move the conference back to its historical dates of a December staging and we feel given the workloads of HCPs at the moment along with study leave and budgets that this will be the best time to stage our next meeting.

Work has already started on the programme and we look forward to welcoming and hosting a selection of the UK's top speakers and KOLs to deliver lectures around some of the most common medical takes and topics Old Age Psychiatrists experience in their daily clinical practice – PROGRAMME TO BE MADE PUBLIC IN THE COMING WEEKS.

The conference will once again, be hosted at the superb facilities 20 Cavendish Square, at the heart of London's West End and there is an EARLY BIRD BOOKING FEE of £499 for the two days and 12 CPD points will once again be available to all attendees.

To secure your place simply click the REGISTER NOW button for a quick and simple registration process - if you wish to pay by BACS Transfer please email the team HERE.

Of course, any questions then don't hesitate to contact the Old Age Psychiatry Team.

We look forward to welcoming you in 2024 to one of the UK's leading Old Age Psychiatrists Conferences for two great days of debate and information exchange

Until then and with our best wishes

The MFOAP Team
