With the rapidly ageing population, there is an increased in prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia. This has posed a challenge to the healthcare system and burden to society. It is therefore imperative that we look for innovative and creative ways to respond effectively and to meet the needs of this vulnerable group. Join us at this enriching webinar to learn more and gain insights from our speakers on this evolving area of aged care.
Jointly organised by Ageing Research Institute for Society and Education (ARISE) and Geriatric Education and Research Institute (GERI), this webinar is part of the Knowledge and Prac- tice Series (KPS) to disseminate research evidence of the projects under the ARISE-GERI Research Collaborative.
The KPS is conducted regularly by GERI, as a knowledge trans- lation platform that brings together various stakeholders, to share research findings and exchange knowledge in order to enhance eldercare practice and policy formulation.
