Team from UCC studies support needs of individuals with Young Onset Dementia
Dr Caroline Kilty co-authored a report launched today from the National Dementia Office.
Dr Caroline Kilty co-authored a report in conjunction with the Centre for Gerontology, School of Medicine which is being launched today from the National Dementia Office. The launch of the report coincides with World Alzheimer’s Day, and September World Alzheimer’s month. The mixed methods study aimed to investigate the diagnostic and post-diagnostic support needs of people with Young Onset Dementia in Ireland. The report “ highlights the shortcomings of the Irish healthcare system in caring for people with Young Onset Dementia (YOD), reviews international experience and good practice and therefore formulates recommendations to improve the care and support of people with YOD in Ireland”.
