Geriatrics isn’t just about treating conditions; it’s about championing dignity, independence, and quality of life for older adults.
If you believe healthcare should be holistic, rewarding, and full of impact—Geriatrics is the place to be! #ChooseGeriatrics #AddingLifeToYears

7. Because geriatricians (and other members of the #MDT) are so bloody nice. They tend to be ego free, very collaborative, not too grand or "above" doing whatever patients need and the ones i met early in my career were great role models.

6. “Because geriatric medicine allows you at various points in your career to work across the interfaces between acute, long term and community care, healthcare ethics and law or sometimes all at once.”
