Events
The Institution organises technical conferences, seminars, workshops and social functions for the Mechanical Engineering community.
Designed by engineers for engineers, we welcome both members and non-members to attend these events.
Listed below are all events being run by the Engineering in Medicine and Health Division.
Play It Back
Our new webcasting service Playitback gives you a second chance to catch up with many lectures you have missed, helping you find out the latest advances from the comfort of your desktop.
Date: 25 October 2012
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London
Falls of older people cost the NHS in the region of £5M per day. The purpose of this seminar is to increase understanding of the risk factors leading to falls of older people. We will identify design issues which may influence incidence of falls, learn about state of the art falls detectors and alarms and identify issues needing further research.
