Attendees will develop their understanding of the progressive nature of dementia and its impact on driving, how to facilitate early retirement from driving without jeopardising patient-doctor relationships and practical strategies for managing the legal, ethical, emotional and social ramifications of advising persons with dementia about driving safety.
