place in a hybrid format, both in person and online. This provides flexible attendance options, as we are aware that there are circumstances which can make in person attendance difficult. Where possible though, we encourage delegates to join us in person to get the most out of the experience.</p> <p>Not only are there the learning opportunities of hearing presentations on core areas of the geriatric medicine curriculum, latest research and best practices in older people’s healthcare, but in person attendance also provides the chance to network with colleagues and take part in our social programme.</p> <p>Alongside the educational purpose of our meetings, they are also there for your wellbeing, to allow you to take a break from day-to-day work, refocus and connect with colleagues.</p> <p>Take a look at why some of our BGS members attend events in person: </p> </div> <div class="card-view-4"> <div class="view view-attachment view-id-attachment view-display-id-main view-dom-id-157f1b606d0098873561f595085d233c"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-2 views-row-even section-row palette-default "> <div class="section-inner"> <div class="card-video"> <div class="embedded-video"> <div class="player"> <iframe class="" id="vimeo-957582975" width="1920" height="1080" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/957582975?width=1920&height=1080&color=ffffff&portrait=0&title=0&byline=0&autoplay=0&loop=0&player_id=vimeo-957582975" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card-view-4"> <div class="view view-attachment view-id-attachment view-display-id-main view-dom-id-d2d3765348a3936aeefafec7d010af55"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd views-row-last section-row palette-default "> <div class="section-inner"> <div class="card-body"> <p><strong>Dr Jennifer Stevenson</strong></p> <p>“I’ve met lots of colleagues and we’ve been able to share good practice and generate some research ideas.”</p> <p><strong>Dr Divya Tiwari</strong></p> <p>“I have always used events as an opportunity to attend in person and to network, which helps to grow your career, and is also good for your personal wellbeing.”</p> <p><strong>Dr Vikky Morris</strong></p> <p>“I love coming to the conferences and seeing people.
