Healthcare professionals are called upon to serve an ever-increasing volume of patients over the age of 65 who may have been discriminated against due to ageism. This seminar provides a detailed synopsis of the World Health Organization’s 2021 Global Report on Ageism, which will assist in elevating the level of competency, awareness and sensitivity to ageism-related issues in healthcare. Topics covered include the scale of ageism, the nature of ageism, the impact of ageism, the determinants of ageism and the three strategies to reduce ageism as outlined in the WHO report.
