EuGMS SIG on COMPREHENSIVE GERIATRIC ASSESSMENT
Dear EuGMS colleagues, dear SIG-CGA members,
The EuGMS Special Interest Group on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment will hold an online meeting on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. This meeting follows a long hiatus and will therefore focus primarily on organizational items and planning the next steps for 2026.
The meeting will be chaired by Lone Winther Lietzen (Chair), Carlo Custodero (Co-Chair), Filippo Maria Verri (Secretary). We warmly invite all colleagues interested in CGA to join, with a particular encouragement to members who are officially part of the SIG-CGA.
During the meeting we will provide a short status update and, importantly, launch new working groups for 2026, including a 10-year update on CGA implementation barriers and facilitators (the "know-do gap" update) and dimension-focused CGA working groups.
