Block-book to view our September 2026 – January 2027 Evening Medical Updates online from home via this link.
Free for RCPE members. For non-RCPE members, we are offering a 10% discount for booking all five EMUs.
Learning outcomes for this Evening Medical Update include:
- Gain an understanding of how acute‑level care can be safely delivered in the home setting and the key factors that support effective patient selection and management.
- Develop an understanding of the causes and assessment of age‑related muscle loss to support early recognition and management.
- Understand how integrating frailty expertise across clinical teams supports early identification, holistic assessment and coordinated care for older adults.
The Evening Medical Updates programme: Covers specialities, presentations and conditions included within the Internal Medicine Training (IMT) curriculum. Within these, we aim to cover topics from a range of clinical settings including the acute medical take, outpatients department, community care and critical care.
Topics are covered in monthly updates between September and June of each academic year, and each session consists of three 30-minute presentations.
Target audience: Although aimed primarily at medical trainees, Evening Medical Updates are open to all hospital doctors, GPs, other healthcare professionals, and medical students.
Delegates are able to submit questions via Slido and we will cover as many questions as possible during the live session.
Attendance options:
- Online from home, with on-demand access, or
- In-person from a participating live-link site (see live-link tab for a site close to you).
Registering to view online from home also allows you to catch-up at your convenience on-demand for up to 28 days following the original broadcast.
