On 7, 8 and 10 November, Alzheimer Center Amsterdam and Alzheimer Europe (AE) co-hosted a consultation with the members of the EU-FINGERS Advisory Board. The topic of the meeting was on the dementia risk communication including how doctors and/or researchers should communicate the risk to develop dementia to people at risk. Communication guidelines and practice recommendations regarding optimal strategies for communicating dementia risk were presented. The developed guidelines take into consideration that different people may have different needs or preferences about how to receive information about risk, or this may depend on other circumstances. During the meeting, members discussed and provided feedback on the communication guidelines.
The discussions were co-facilitated by Heleen Hendriksen (Alzheimer Center Amsterdam) and Ana Diaz (AE). All meetings were very interactive and lively and the feedback received was very valuable for the project. AE Project officers Cindy Birck and Ana Diaz participated in the meetings.
