Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day 2023 in Bern

The « 5th Swiss Orthogeriatrics Day » will take place on Tuesday, 12 September in Bern as an attendance event. This year we have set three different focal points in the lecture and workshop sessions:

  • Research in orthogeriatrics from the perspective of various professional groups
  • E-Health in Orthogeriatrics and Patient Journey
  • Osteoporosis, sarcopenia and falls

This year we are again offering an exciting key note with an international speaker.
A poster exhibition of their work as well as time for exchanging ideas with each other in the industry exhibition during lunch and a coffee break round off the programme, which this year already starts at 10.00 am.

We look forward to seeing you again in September!

Your hosts in Bern,
Prof. Dr. med. Johannes D. Bastian and Dr. med. Anna K. Eggimann

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
