Organisation and Activity PSIGE is organised into 16 geographical groups. A national committee is elected annually at the AGM and links with these groups through the Geographical Groups Convenor. The committee works on behalf of PSIGE members and functions as a consultative body to the BPS and DCP on relevant issues relating to older people. Time limited task working groups including co-opted members are co-ordinated through the Committee to address specific issues e.g. Quality Assurance, Elder Abuse, Clinical Psychology Training and Primary Care. Bibliographies on a wide range of topics (e.g. sexuality in older adults, neuropsychology, and ageing and reminiscence) have also been compiled and are available at a cost. The Committee also liases with other agencies and professional groups.
