Conference report : National Dementia Conference : inspiring and informing a national dementia strategy for Canada : May 14-15, 2018, Ottawa, Ontario.: HP35-112/2018E-PDF
"The National Strategy for Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias Act (the Act) came into force on June 22, 2017, and requires the federal Minister of Health or delegated officials, in cooperation with representatives of provincial and territorial (PT) governments, to develop and implement a comprehensive national dementia strategy. On May 14-15, 2018, a National Dementia Conference was held in Ottawa, Canada. The conference brought together about 200 participants from six key stakeholders identified in the Act: people living with dementia, caregivers, researchers, health professionals, advocacy groups and representatives from PT governments. This report provides highlights of the discussions at the event. The outcomes of the conference and other stakeholder engagement processes to date will be included in a "What We Heard" report, which will be released in the Fall of 2018. All input will inform the development of the National Dementia Strategy"--Executive summary, p. 2, 3.
