One of the components of the Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) Interdisciplinary Training Program is for HQPs to disseminate their work through publication and meetings. The main dissemination event of CFN is the annual conference; the 3rd CFN Annual Conference on Improving Care for the Frail Elderly was held in Toronto, September 27-29, 2015 and the 4th CFN Annual Conference was held in Toronto, on April 23-24, 2017. The goal for both conferences was to bring together key researchers, practitioners, educators, policy-makers, advocates, and organizations devoted to improving health care for the seriously ill, frail elderly, and to highlight HQP research. All 2015 and 2016 HQPs in the Summer Student Award Program, the Interdisciplinary Fellowship Project, and project HQP involved with a CFN-funded project submitted an abstract for their affiliated conference. The abstracts were reviewed for quality, and the authors presented them as posters during the conferences. In what follows, we present the compilation of research abstracts that were presented by CFN HQP at the 3rd and 4th annual conferences. The annual conference will continue to be expanded in coming years, and next year we will accept abstracts from all researchers who are engaged with the seriously ill, frail elderly.

Méthodes: Dans un premier temps, une revue des considérations épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques sera partagée. Les principes de l’approche thérapeutique multidimensionnelle individualisée centrée sur la personne seront abordés. La deuxième présentation s’intéresse, en particulier, à un modèle d’éducation des professionnels et personnes soignantes impliquées auprès des personnes atteintes de démence. L’utilisation de capsules de formation spécifiques (e-Learning) sur les différents types de SCPD, leurs caractéristiques cliniques, leur prise en charge et leur traitement sera abordé. Les principes de mentorat pour la gestion de ces problématiques par téléconsultation seront présentés et discutés. La troisième partie du symposium concerne l’intérêt et l’utilité des unités de soins spécialisées pour l’évaluation et la prise en charge des SCPD graves et persistants qui sont difficiles à stabiliser dans le milieu de vie de la personne atteinte de démence.

CANADIAN GERIATRICS JOURNAL, VOLUME 20, ISSUE 1, MARCH 2017 In our current issue, Hogan et al.(1) present a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge surrounding frailty in the acute care setting. In a similar acute care setting, Marcel Emond et al.(2) present a retrospective examination of the prevalence of emergency department-induced delirium. McGuire et al.(3) provide us with a retrospective exploration of both the characteristics and incidence of traumatic brain injury in older adults using homecare services in the province of Ontario. Boscart et al.(4) examine the conceptual framework behind the Living Classroom, a collaboration between a nursing home group and a community college where students, college faculty, care teams, residents, and families engage in a culture of learning. We are also pleased to present the abstracts from the 25th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Canadian Academy of Geriatric Psychiatry, held recently in Quebec City.(5)
