End-of-Life Care in Dementia
Presented by: McGill Webcasts
Join us on February 2, 2022 at 12 pm EST for the next McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers.
Dr. Catherine Ferrier will speak about the end-of-life for people living with dementia. She will describe how the medical system cares for them at that time, and how care partners can make this time more comfortable. She will also talk about the options for palliative care for those with dementia and when and how it can be accessed.
Dr. Ferrier is a family physician and holds a Certificate of Special Competence in Care of the Elderly from the College of Family Physicians of Canada. She works in the Division of Geriatric Medicine of the McGill University Health Centre, where her focus is on cognitive disorders and assessment of decision-making capacity. She is Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McGill University.
This episode of McGill Cares is made possible by a donation from the Zeller Family Foundation.
