Understanding Dementia & Person-Centred Strategies in Clinical Practice
Learning together.
Putting the person at the centre of care.
Understanding the condition.
Seeing the person.
Silver Valet Dental Care, in partnership with Amica Lions Gate, is bringing its office and medical teams together for a staff webinar and workshop on dementia and person-centred strategies in clinical practice.
Led by Krista Frazee, MA, the session will explore understanding dementia, recognizing differences in how it presents, and approaches to communication and care that keep the person at the centre.
