Did You Know?
The coronavirus pandemic has left its mark on the elderly care sector and work conditions and standards change on a regular basis. That’s why one of the selling points of ALTENPFLEGE is its Congress, which runs across all three days of the trade fair and has a very extensive programme. Visitors can choose from 30 lecture blocks that touch upon every single aspect of elderly care. In addition to the Congress, skilled workers can also participate in the training programme, which is now more important than ever due to the shortage of workers in nursing. There will be a lot of practical information on media and specialist literature as well as presentations on associations and institutions that might be helpful to workers.
