Series of Training Workshops for Care Providers 2022 and 2023

This training aims to equip healthcare providers, family caregivers, and aspiring care staff with the appropriate skills to provide HOMECARE for the older population. HOMECARE is the care given to a patient in the house (if required) after being discharged from the hospital. It can be acute or chronic illnesses. The training will include treating and caring for patients with or without a carer. Monitoring the patient’s health is essential, and it also includes providing guidance and counseling to the family member when needed.

More information on the event will be available on our website by the end of Aug 2022.

This event will be held in Q1 of 2024, with Malaysia as the proposed host.

This conference will bring together healthcare professionals, financial institutions, insurance companies, lawyers, caregivers, government officials, NGOs, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare product distributors, and alternative and complementary medicine practitioners as speakers, delegates, exhibitors, and sponsors.

Multi-Disciplinary Team concept in collaboration with HOMEGP

HOMEGP is an online platform that connects healthcare seekers to house-call healthcare practitioners. We at MHAS are working hand-in-hand to build a team of advocates with the Multi-Disciplinary Team concept – where members may have separate but interrelated roles and advise within their disciplinary boundaries.

It starts with the patient being assessed individually by several professionals (such as practitioners, nursing, social workers, psychiatrists, medical, etc), and then coming together as a whole to discuss their individual assessments and develop a joint service plan for the patient. 

If you are keen to join our team in this approach, please email your CV (max 2 to 3 pages), highlighting your last five years of experience, to info@healthyageing.org.

Please indicate in the email Ref/Subject/Title: CV for the Roadshow series.
