Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean. - Ryunosuke Satoro
On November 26th the Geriatric Medicine Research Unit (GMRU) in conjunction with the Canadian Dementia Knowledge Translation Network (CDKTN) hosted Think Tank 2009: Dement ia Care in Nova Scotia.
In attendance were over 60 representatives from all facets of dementia care in Nova Scotia including physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, administrators, volunteers, industry representatives, policy makers, and researchers.
The objective of the Think Tank was to engage potential research-users in the creation of a research agenda in the area of dementia care. As a result, we hope to create a program that is responsive to the needs of those in policy and practice.
As well as exchanging knowledge in this vital and important topic, it is our hope that this forum will create collaborations and relationships that extend well past this one day event.
A report based on the information shared by all participants in this Think Tank will be produced by the GMRU and will be made available on this website in the near future. |
