This episode allows us to join part of the discussion on the 'Stronger Together'   webinar that launched HammondCare and it’s Dementia Centre ‘s  partnership with Topaz , a leading Dutch aged care provider.  

This conversation centres around the importance of international partnership and knowledge exchange to raise awareness and increase learnings in the field of dementia care and research.

Marie is joined by Topaz CEO Lia de Jongh, Professor Wilco Achterberg, Leiden University Professor of Institutional Care and Elderly Care Medicine and Professor Susan Kurrle, University of Sydney Curran Chair of Health in Older People.
