2nd International Conference on Capacity

Pre-Congress Program - Tuesday, 13 October2nd International Conference on Capacity |
IPA has long recognized capacity as an issue with clinical, ethical, medico-legal and human rights relevance to clinicians across a range of disciplines working in old age psychiatry. Originally championed by Sanford Finkel (IPA Past President), this issue has been garnering support through the efforts of both the IPA Capacity Shared Interest Forum and the Taskforce for Testamentary Capacity and Undue Influence. Growing interest resulted in the 1st International Conference on Capacity in Hong Kong (September 2014). Hosted by Capacity Australia in conjunction with the Hong Kong Psychogeriatric Association, the conference attracted 6o delegates from 8 countries (visit www.capacityaustralia.org.au for more).
Building on that success, the upcoming 2nd International Conference on Capacity, convened by IPA in conjunction with Capacity Australia, promises to once again showcase novel plenaries addressing a breadth of issues. This year’s theme, “the science of decision-making” includes topics ranging from will-making to awareness in dementia and supported decision-making and will be presented by leaders in this field.
