Den 4. marts 2023 bortfalder tilskuddet til kapsler med indhold af rivastigmin og tilskudsklausulen for rivastigmin depotplastre i styrkerne 4,6 mg/24 timer og 9,5 mg/24 timer ændrer tilskudsklausul til:
 
”Patienter med relevant demenssygdom, hvor diagnosen er stillet af en speciallæge i psykiatri, neurologi og/eller geriatri, og hvor behandling med oral kolinesterasehæmmer ikke er mulig.”
 
Tilskuddet til rivastigmin kapsler (3,38-3,62 kr.) bortfalder på grund af en vedvarende prisforskel i forhold til den billigste demensmedicin, donepezil tabletter (0,70 kr.), som har samme effekt.
Depotplastrer med rivastigmin i de nævnte styrker (6,63-9,15 kr. ) får ændret deres tilskudsklausul på grund af den betydelige prisforskel sammenlignet med den billigste demensmedicin, donepezil, som har den samme effekt. Derfor er det kun rationelt at anvende depotplastrer til patienter, der ikke kan tage tabletter eller kapsler.

Vi har bedt apotekerne om at orientere de berørte kunder samt opfordre kunderne til at tale med lægen. Vi har også udarbejdet et informationsark, som apotekerne kan printe og udlevere til deres kunder. Vi informerer også lægeforeningen, herunder PLO og FAPS og relevante patientforeninger. 

Kære kolleger,
 
European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) er del af et stort EU projekt, der handler om Geriatri i Europa.
Nedenfor finder i et lille skriv om dette inkl. links til mere uddybende beskrivelse. Der er også link til et survey, som jeg håber, så mange af jer som muligt har lyst til at deltage i.

PROGRAMMING CA21122 primarily focuses on the education and training of non-specialist healthcare professionals in the fundamental principles of Geriatric Medicine, especially in countries with less developed healthcare systems and structures. Our goal is to create a set to tools to ensure that everyone involved in the care of older adults feels comfortable addressing the common needs and issues that arise in this demographic.
To this end, we look back at what we have achieved over the past year as we approach our first anniversary. We have engaged over 280 participants from 40 countries and are continuing to grow as we spread the message of our Action through dissemination events and meetings both virtual and hybrid. We hope to engage scientific activity, having funded 26 grants to Action Members!
We have developed a newsletter to keep interested parties updated on the latest developments in the COST Action. You can look at the latest versionhttps://cost-programming.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/programming-newsletter1-v1.4.pdf
Last year, we launched a multilingual web-based survey aimed at gathering information about the educational interests and needs of current and future healthcare professionals involved in older adult care. This was a key step towards collecting standardized data from a diverse range of stakeholders as we aspire to provide a comprehensive European overview, highlighting variations in educational interests and needs within the field of care for older adults. We would appreciate it if you could take the time to participate in filling in the survey and share it with your peers: https://cost-programming.eu/survey/   
As representatives of PROGRAMMING, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in disseminating information about our Action. We are open to new members and looking for fresh perspectives.
For your convenience, please find hereafter the link to flyer providing a brief overview of our Action:https://cost-programming.eu/useful-documents/
And please do not forget to visit our websitehttps://cost-programming.eu/  (where you can also find all the useful documents both in pdf and as image to facilitate the dissemination)

The Nordic Congress of Gerontology (NKG) was originally a Nordic congress but has since developed into a significant ageing conference that draws attendees worldwide while maintaining its relaxed Nordic vibe. The 27th edition will be held at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, on 12–14 June 2024, under the theme “Ageing in a transforming world”.  
  
NKG 2024 will provide a range of presentation forms, including keynotes, symposia, oral presentations, and topic-specific poster tours. In addition, there will be spotlight sessions, where invited experts will discuss key themes in a creative and engaging manner. We welcome multidisciplinary contributions reflecting the scientific pillars of the Nordic Gerontological Federation, i.e., biological and medical sciences; behavioural and social sciences; humanities and art; as well as health/social policy and practice.  
  
Karolinska Institutet (KI) Campus Solna will be the main congress venue. The congress dinner, at Münchenbryggeriet in Södermalm, will feature live entertainment as part of a pleasant social programme. For those of you coming from afar, we truly hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy all that Stockholm has to offer, including its tourist attractions, shopping districts, nightlife, and picturesque surroundings. Registration to the congress and call for abstracts will open on 2 October 2023.

Er du yngre geriater eller overlæge med interesse for, kontakt til eller ansvar for demensudredning? Så holder Nationalt Videnscenter for Demens og Hukommelsesklinikken på Rigshospitalet i foråret 2024 nogle kursusdage, der kunne være interessante for dig. 

Den 26. januar 2024 afholdes Masterclass Basic med overlæge Peter Roos og neuropsykolog Johanne Asperud Thomsen fra Nationalt Videnscenter for Demens, Rigshospitalet.
https://videnscenterfordemens.dk/da/kursus/masterclass-basic-demensdiagnostik
 
Den 1. marts 2024 afholdes Masterclass Advanced med professor i kognitiv neurologi på University of Cambridge og overlæge på Cambridge Memory Clinic, James Rowe.
https://videnscenterfordemens.dk/da/kursus/demensdiagnostik-masterclass-advanced-med-james-rowe
 
Begge arrangementer indledes med et foredrag og består derefter af præsentationer af cases med henholdsvis typiske og sjældne/atypiske problemstillinger. Deltagerne inviteres til at diskutere diagnostiske overvejelser og udredningsstrategier. Ved præsentationen af cases medvirker frivillige patienter og pårørende fra Hukommelsesklinikken på Rigshospitalet.

Hvornår: d. 19-21 marts 2024 
Hvor: København
Type: Eksternat (overnatning ikke inkluderet)
Kurset indeholder oplæg indenfor infektionsmedicin, reumatologi, dermatologi, gastroenterologi, uro-gynækologi samt væske/elektrolytter. Derudover en grundig gennemgang af faldudredning, med praktiske indslag.
Du vil på kurset ligeledes lære lidt om formidling og fremlæggelse. I den forbindelse vil du før kurset få en hjemmeopgave, der skal være forberedt til fremlæggelse på kurset. Det betyder at kurset består af 3 kursusdage med fremmøde og 1 hjemmearbejdsdag, som du skal huske at ønske fri til. 
Der er tale om et eksternat, dvs. du skal selv sørge for overnatning i forbindelse med kurset. 
Yderligere informationer gives i kursusbrev, sammen med hjemmeopgave.
Hvis tilmeldinger overstiger kursets kapacitet, prioriteres uddannelseslæger der er længst i forløbet.
