The S.A.G.E. study tours will provide Health & Aged Care professionals with an excellent forum for fostering and exchanging learning and cultural opportunities in the delivery of Eldercare around the globe. Their aim is to provide participants with valuable insights from key professionals in the international health and aged care field and to facilitate cultural exchange and business opportunities. Delegates will be able to meet with highly respected health professionals, to visit cutting edge clinical and educational facilities, and to learn about alternative service delivery models in the international arena.

S.A.G.E. study tours offer a unique occasion for two cultures to meet and exchange ideas on social and political approaches to Eldercare. We hope you will take this opportunity to participate in the valuable experience of witnessing another country's cultural approach to and developments in aged care services and Eldercare delivery.
