On 28 September, Dianne Gove (Director for Projects, Alzheimer Europe) presented the policy paper on intercultural care and support developed by Alzheimer Europe's working group on intercultural care and support (thanks to funding from the Robert Bosch Stiftung) at a webinar and online policy debate organised by the European Foundations’ Initiative on Dementia (EFID). The event was called “Addressing dementia among people with a migration background – From diagnosis to EU policy actions”.
There was a good turnout and panellists included David Truswell (Chair of the Dementia Alliance for Culture and Ethnicity), John F. Ryan (Director for Public Health, country knowledge, crisis management, DG for Health and Safety, European Commission), and René Thyrian (German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases/DZNE). Owen Miller (Policy Officer, Alzheimer Europe) also participated in this webinar.
