New topics featured include: * Demography of ageing. * The older driver. * Smoking in old age. * Diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology. * Pharmacology and therapeutics. * Disorders of the stomach and duodenum. * Constipation. * Anaemias. * Hypertension. * Pulmonary rehabilitation. * Headache. * Clinical aspects of Alzheimer's Disease. * Osteoporosis. * Education in geriatric medicine. * Clinical audit and health care. * Ethical issues.
