On 22 February 2021, Karin Westerlund, a Board member of Alzheimer Europe, gave a speech at The Swedish Family Care Competence Centre, SFCCC, in Stockholm, Sweden. She discussed the socioeconomic effects of caring for people with cognitive decline during these special times (post-Brexit; COVID-19 pandemic). There were also questions and a panel-discussion about gender-issues with the other guest-speakers that attended.
The SFCCC has, since last year, put more focus on older people, neurodegenerative diseases and quality-of life issues of carers in Sweden. Their webinars have become popular and well-attended, especially during the pandemic restrictions.
