Know Injury - Alcohol and older adults webinar

Are you interested in understanding and reducing the risk of alcohol use in older adults?
The following webinar is an informative 60-minute online webinar focused on alcohol use among older adults. Delivered by Know Injury - provides knowledge, training, resources, and networking opportunities for health professionals, local governments, not-for-profits and community organisations to prevent injuries.

Recent data highlights a concerning trend of risky alcohol use by older adults. Given our ageing population, additional action is needed to be able to identify and support older adults at risk of alcohol-related harm. Without additional action, there will be increased demand on our healthcare system, and just as important, it will affect our older adults’ quality of life.

We all have a role to play in reducing the impact of alcohol on our community.

This webinar was delivered in collaboration with experts Dr. Paddy Quinn, Emergency Geriatrics Registrar and Jo Woodruff, Team Leader of Alcohol and Other Drugs Community Prevention at Holyoake.
