Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day 2022 in Basel

Dear colleagues,
Ladies and gentlemen 

The 1st « Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day Bern » was a great success, with around 190 participants from 16 different cantons in Switzerland. All occupational groups involved in the treatment of the elderly were represented, and we had a rich and informative interdisciplinary exchange. On Thursday the 31st of October, we were able to build on our previous success with the 2nd « Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day ».

After a break in 2021 due to the pandemic situation, we were able to hold the 3rd « Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day » on 27.10.2021 as a pure attendance event. It was also new that we organized the OGD for the first time in Zurich at the University Hospital at a different location. The two regional hosts, Prof. Dr. Bischoff-Ferrari and Prof. Dr. Pape, succeeded in mobilizing about 100 participants from 15 cantons with an attractive program and highly qualified speakers. A heartfelt thank you.

In 2022 we plan to hold the 4th « Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day » in Basel, under the local leadership of Prof. Dr. Kressig and Prof. Dr. Suhm, this on 03.11.2022 - SAVE THE DATE!

Your hosts  in Basel 2022,

Prof. Dr. med. J. D. Bastian, Prof. Dr. med. Reto W. Kressig and Prof. Dr. med. Norbert Suhm

An appointment with age

  • Treating the elderly is an exciting challenge for me – as a person, as a scientist and as a surgeon. Prof. Dr. med. Johannes D. Bastian

  • Ageing people are like museums: it's not the façade that matters, but the treasures of the interior. Jeanne Moreau

  • As long as you remain curious, age cannot harm you. Burt Lancaster

  • We need to rethink the treatment of fractures in the elderly – it requires interdisciplinary and interprofessional teamwork. Prof. Dr. med. Johannes D. Bastian

  • Even at the age of sixty you can still be forty – but only for half-an-hour a day. Anthony Quinn

  • Older patients are our future, due solely to demographics. We are all ageing, and may one day be affected by these issues ourselves. Prof. Dr. med. Johannes D. Bastian

  • Ageing is a highly interesting process: you think and think and think, and then suddenly you can’t remember anything. Ephraim Kishon
