Joint initiative to develop educational podcasts for older people

Tracy Szekely, Senior Lecturer in Occupational Therapy and Sarah-Jane Ryan, Senior Lecturer in Physiotherapy have been involved with a Health Education Kent, Surrey and Sussex funded project which is developing educational podcasts for members of the multidisciplinary team (MDTea!) who work with older people.  The podcasts will cover a wide range of topics for example incontinence, delirium management, capacity and rehabilitation.   The team is led by 2 East Surrey Geriatricians and includes representatives from nursing, pharmacy and the academic health science network as well as Tracy and Sarah-Jane for the University.
