The e-Ageing project, developed by the Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing (WACHA), is an interactive, case-based educational resource designed for medical and allied health students and professionals. It provides self-directed online modules focusing on the physiology of ageing and the management of diseases common in older adults.
Two-part case study
Stroke and Rehabilitation follow the same patient. Complete in order.
Three-part case study
Urinary Incontinence, Geriatric Assessment and Residential Care follow the same couple across three modules of care. Continence starts with Mr Robert Scott, and then we meet his wife Mrs Veronica Scott in the second continence case study. We continue to follow Mrs Veronica Scott through the Geriatric Assessment and Residential Care modules.
