The previous study days for professionals working with the elderly , held by Melabev about care for people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia were fully booked and some people had to be turned away. For that reason we are offering another study day on 26/4/2010 from 9:00 -13:45 . The title is "Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia - Making the Most of the Moment". If you are a nurse, social worker or in another profession that works with the elderly this is for you. A light lunch will be served. Read on for the full program and for information on how to register.
