CADENZA Symposium 2009
Primary Care & Older Persons – Key to Medical & Social Integration

Older persons, particularly those with chronic diseases, have complex needs requiring medical as well as social care to be provided in a seamless manner. Primary care can be such a platform for health and social care providers for management of chronic diseases, psychosocial problems, as well as health promotion.

This symposium provided a forum where health and social service providers, academia and experts jointly deliberated models and strategies in building a primary care system for older persons in Hong Kong.

Two distinguished overseas speakers:

Professor Steve Iliffe (Professor of Primary Care for Older People, University College London)
Professor Barbara Starfield (Professor of Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health)

Topics addressed include:

Primary Care for the Elderly: The Need for Integrated Medical and Social Care
Chronic Disease Management and Its Relevance to Older People
Experience of HK NGOs in Primary Care: Success, Obstacles and Future Plans
The Primary Care Approach to Dealing with Psychological Problems in the Elderly
