XXXII Conference on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias

  Date:
 Type: Conference
 Line of Knowledge: 
 Location: Pamplona (Navarra)

Removing Alzheimer's disease from the “catch-all” of neurodegenerative, chronic or elderly diseases to give it its own label and address it specifically by the health system, is the main demand of AFAN (Association of Relatives of People with Alzheimer's and other Dementias of Navarra) for the World Day of the disease, which is accompanied by the 'Specific' campaign and a new edition of the Alzheimer's Week of Navarra, which includes parades, theater and talks on prevention or sexuality.

Models and challenges", which focuses on the diversity of realities of the elderly population that clashes with the ageist view that homogenises them.

To do so, we will talk about myths, Social Centres for the Elderly, elderly women and rethink the care we want.
