Mid-Year Meeting, 2025

This year's meeting was held at the Tawa Bowling Club on Thursday June 26th, from 10.00am to 12 noon, and morning tea was provided.

Our speaker this time was Dr Maree Todd, Chair of the HOPE Foundation Research on Ageing, who is a Geriatrician (Medical Specialist on Ageing), President of the NZ Division of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Geriatric Medicine, acts in a governance/advisory role for BUPA and worked at Auckland Hospital from 1991 until the end of 2023. She spoke about ageing, and improvement and maintenance of wellbeing. The things required to age well are also the things that reduce the risk of dementia so she used that as a framework. She endeavoured to provide tips to survive the health system and get the most out of it, and gave tips on improving this for the younger generations in our families – she says it is never too early to start to age well!

There was also  information about new courses in Semester 2, and several of the current course leaders spoke about their courses.
