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
