Darren J. Walsh, Geriatric Oncology Pharmacist at University Hospital Waterford, shared on LinkedIn:
“I had such an amazing time at the 2026 SIOG – International Society of Geriatric Oncology annual conference this year!
Meeting so many inspirational people, sharing the stage with some of the people I admire the most in geriatric oncology and connecting with friends and colleagues again!
I was so delighted to take part in the geriatric assessment workshop, the panel session on polypharmacy and deprescribing and to present four posters; an oral abstract and take part in the Young SIOG poster walk!
This marks the last posters I’ll present fron my PhD work that took place in UHW via School of Pharmacy, UCC under the supervision of Laura Sahm, Michelle O’Driscoll and Anne Horgan.
A landmark milestone!
I wanted to extend a huge congratulations to my amazing friend and colleague Kumud Kantilal on her award of the SIOG NAHS investigator of the year award. A thoroughly deserved award for a fantastic researcher!
Too many others to name! I leave this year’s conference full of ideas, email addresses to follow up on, opportunities for collaboration and inspiration to look at the next steps in researching medication management in older adults with cancer!
Here is to Luxembourg in 2027!”
