A team from Dementia Support Australia visited the Island in the week starting 26 November. The team consisted of Hannah Baird,National Projects Manager, Hammond Care; Andrew Italia, Dementia Consultant and Dr Liz Stirling, Aged Person’s Psychiatrist.
They provided education sessions, a community information presentation and individual consultations. The Community presentation can be found here.
They also left us some useful books which are now available for loan from the Council Library.
We are hoping the team will be back early in 2019. If you would like to speak to them please contact Karen Innes-Walker on 22687 or by email on karen.walker@hospital.gov.nf
