EFGCP Geriatric Medicines Working Party

The EFGCP Geriatric Medicines Working Party is focused on developing three major areas of concerns regarding medicines for Europe's increasing elderly populations:  

 

The EFGCP Geriatric Medicines Working Party focuses specifically on the following:  

1. A society concern: the present and future healthcare of elderly populations  

2. A medical concern: the need for appropriately studied and labelled medicines, with particular attention to avoiding avoid iatrogenic problems  

3. An ethical concern: ensuring appropriate healthcare and research protections for Europe's elderly populations  

 

The goal of the Geriatric Medicines Working Party is to examine issues in the development of geriatric medicines that include approaches taken by ethics committees, information on medicines and medical research provided to elderly patients, informed consent in elderly populations, new regulatory approaches, specific pharmaceutical formulations, and strategic approaches to educating society.
