Ireland conference

Engaging Dementia’s online 15th annual International Dementia Conference took place on 25 and 26 May.  The conference featured over 20 speakers across two days, with a particular focus on topics of direct interest to those living with dementia and their family carers.  Day one focused on local communities, resources for family carers, and receiving care in your own home, while day two looked at the residential care setting, and the latest ideas and innovations to improve long term care services.  Engaging Dementia is a charity providing training for care providers in Ireland.  For more information, go to www.engagingdementia.ie.
