Description

Alzheimer’s disease and other neurocognitive disorders are disabling health conditions that create daunting challenges to patients, families and clinicians.

Are you prepared to manage and anticipate the complex patient needs that emerge when caring for these patients?

Have there been times in the past that you wished you had done more…?

Catherine Wollman, DNP, CRNP, GNP-BC, will provide the very latest research about who’s at risk, what’s at stake, and what we can realistically do to manage the impact of neurocognitive disorders.

Knowledge and evidence in dementia care are constantly changing. We will focus on the newest science, but also the use of ingenuity and compassion to address the multiple problems facing patients and families.

Unique clinical challenges will be reviewed using personal stories and case studies to decide the best pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to transform your own practice.

Alzheimer’s disease and other neurocognitive disorders will touch almost all of us personally or professionally.

During this intense live webcast, Catherine will provide you with new clinical insights and critical thinking skills so that you won’t need to feel uncertain, frustrated or at risk anymore!
