Rethinking Dementia Care: How Primary Care Providers Can Lead the Diagnosis and Management of Dementia in Canada
Canada’s dementia care system is under mounting pressure, with as many as 70% of people living with dementia undiagnosed, limiting their ability to receive timely care and support.
Evidence shows that primary care providers can play a leading role in delivering timely, high-quality, person-centred dementia care when supported with the right models and team-based approaches.
Join us for a practical and evidence-driven discussion on how primary care providers can lead to dementia diagnosis and ongoing management, drawing on lessons from the MINT Memory Clinic model, one of Canada’s most rigorously evaluated and widely adopted primary-care-based dementia care innovations.
This webinar will explore:
- The need for building capacity in primary care for delivering high quality care that meets the needs of older adults with memory concerns.
- How innovative models like MINT Memory Clinic are transforming care across Canada.
