III Conference ‘Advances and challenges for a society facing Alzheimer's disease’

Coinciding with the recent celebration of World Alzheimer's Day, the Community of Madrid and the Reina Sofía Foundation Alzheimer's Centre organised a conference on advances and challenges in Alzheimer's disease.
Our colleague Andrea Pozo had the opportunity to participate in the panel discussion: ‘Work and experiences: Perspectives, practices and experiences in dementia care and intervention’, with a presentation that focused on the importance of guaranteeing and promoting the right to participation for people with dementia as a means of achieving a full and chosen life. Andrea presented some practical tools designed as part of the ‘Como en Casa’ (Like at Home) project to facilitate the participation of people with dementia in decision-making in their lives and day-to-day activities.
