Learn how to take appropriate collateral history\, using cognitive assessment tools to help determine fitness to drive and reassess driving capacity in people with dementia.  \n\n\n\nDriving safely requires a wide range of manual and cognitive skills. Dementia can affect driving ability in many ways with changes often starting subtly but getting worse over time.  \n\n\n\nGeneral Practitioners are often front and centre when the driving ability of a person living with dementia is in question. At this webinar you will hear practical tips from expert GP medical educators about the importance of beginning this conversation early\, involving family and care-partners in the process\, appropriate use of cognitive assessment tools and ongoing reassessment.  \n\n\n\nThis event is approved for 1.0 hours of Educational Activities for RACGP. \n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nRecall frameworks helpful in assessing and caring for people living with cognitive impairment and dementia \n\n\n\nExplain the impact that dementia can have on a person’s driving ability\n\n\n\nApply national driving guidelines when assessing a person’s ability to drive.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker information: \n\n\n\nDr Karen Savery is a Brisbane based GP who works in clinical practice\, residential aged care and medical education. She is passionate about the education and mentoring of GPs\, particularly in the area of aged care and dementia.
