MedicMess Tips

  • Use the official WFC page as the primary source and the BGS abstract page/results page for abstract status.
  • Registration costs were not visible in captured WFC content, so cost fields were left blank rather than inferred from other BGS meetings.
  • The page contains both an earlier applied-for CPD line and a later Federation approval statement; the 18-credit approval statement was used.

The Complete Guide to the 3rd World Falls Congress 2026

The World Falls Congress is the strongest BGS flagship candidate on this source: a three-day hybrid congress in Manchester for clinicians and researchers working across falls prevention, bone health, frailty and care after a fall. The page highlights expert keynote talks, plenary sessions selected from submitted symposia and abstract-led oral platform or lightning poster rounds. It is suitable for geriatricians, acute and general physicians, frailty teams, nurses, advanced practitioners, allied health professionals, pharmacists, researchers, students and industry partners. The event explicitly supports both in-person and online attendance with the same registration fees and six months of on-demand access for registered days. CPD accreditation is stated as approved by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians for 18 credits. Abstract submission for WFC opened in July 2025 and closed at 5pm GMT on 19 January 2026; accepted abstract presenters were also prioritised for technology booth applications.
