Driving and Dementia

Join guest host Jillian McConnell, Knowledge Translation Specialist at brainXchange, for an insightful conversation with Dr. Gary Naglie, Professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine, Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto and Chief of the Department of Medicine at Baycrest Health Sciences, and Dr. Mark Rapaport, Professor in the geriatric psychiatry division of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and acting head of Geriatric Psychiatry for Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.   In this conversation, Drs. Naglie and Rapaport explore how dementia can impact driving abilities, discuss when and how to make important decisions about continuing to drive, and when to consider if it might be time to stop. They also share alternative solutions and available supports for those navigating the challenges of dementia and driving and their family members.
