Course summary
The discipline of Medical Gerontology in Trinity has a wealth of expertise in ageing biology, clinical frailty assessment and management, and in frailty research. We have built on this expertise to create a Postgraduate Certificate focused on understanding the ageing process, how dysregulation of physiological systems can lead to frailty, and why these frailty-associated physiological changes render the older adult more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes.
