The older surgeon may face significant challenges, having passed their peak, with a lower volume of cases, and potentially increased complications. They also face the challenges of retiring from active clinical practice with its logistical and psychological dilemmas. The RACS has, therefore, put in place several initiatives to deal with these dilemmas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Senior Surgeons\u2019 Group, which conducts annual \u2018Building Towards Retirement\u2019 workshops, has been the driving force behind these initiatives. The group has a regular program in the RACS Annual Scientific Congress, including the multidisciplinary session \u2018The ageing specialist - challenges for regulators: hypothetical\u2019 which took place in 2014, and some of its members are part of a multidisciplinary team with an approach to adapting to ageing that encourages self-reflection and self-monitoring. It has also influenced the RACS Council to change the continuing professional development (CPD) regulations to include requirements for ageing surgeons regards health maintenance, peer reviews, and modified requirements to satisfy CPD completion. The RACS offers a variety of other opportunities for the ageing surgeon to remain active in college activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1039856216632401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,24]],"date-time":"2016-02-24T22:43:51Z","timestamp":1456353831000},"page":"155-156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The aging psychiatrist: lessons from our colleagues in surgery and anaesthesia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Bruce Philip","family":"Waxman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Director of Education and Research, South East Sector, Department of Surgery, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health, Monash University, Dandenong, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1039856216632401","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/mja12.10550"},{"key":"bibr2-1039856216632401","unstructured":"Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
