International Conference: Embracing the Challenge: Citizenship & Dementia

6th - 8th May 2008
 
Event: International Conference
Venue: Stormont Hotel, Belfast
Cost: tbc
 
The DSDC-NI is at the forefront in helping to identify and communicate best practice in many different aspects of dementia. This year's conference is a vehicle that helps achieve that goal.
 
The work of the DSDC-NI brings us into contact with a number of sectors including health, social care, voluntary and independent providers of dementia care to ensure that their work improves the quality of life of citizens with dementia and their family carers.
 
Dr. Stephen Judd will be joining us as one of our keynote speakers. Dr. Judd is Chief Executive of Hammond Care, an Australian charity that is acknowledged internationally as a leader in supporting people affected by dementia. His presentation will challenge people to look at not just the terms they use, but what they mean when confronted by the realities of dementia. His contribution to the 2007 International Conference at the University of Stirling was highly rated by delegates.
