WeLearn Webinar – “Life doesn’t stop”: Using the Driving and Dementia Roadmap to Support Driving Cessation – Feb 22, 2023
Feb 22 @ 7pm. Decision-making about driving and the transition to non-driving is a challenging and complex issue affecting drivers with dementia and their families. Healthcare/service providers play an important role in facilitating and supporting drivers and their families to make this transition. In this webinar, Drs. Gary Naglie and Mark Rapoport who lead a team of CCNA researchers focused on dementia and driving, will discuss how healthcare/service providers can address the issue of driving in persons with dementia. They will describe the development and evaluation of the Driving and Dementia Roadmap (DDR – www.drivinganddementia.ca) – a newly developed online educational resource – and demonstrate how to use the DDR to guide people with dementia, family/friend carers and healthcare/service providers through this process. Members register for free through their LMS Dashboard. Non-Members $20. Register thru https://eshop.werpn.com/
