The Many Faces of Alzheimer's | 03 Coming to see us - How we can help

IN THIS EPISODE, we hear more from ADVANCED NURSE PRACTITIONER CATHY MCHALE about the assessment process.  We also meet other members of the multidisclipinary team involved in reaching a diagnosis – OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, SPEECH & LANGUAGE THERAPISTS and NEUROLOGY – and learn what supports are available.  But first, we hear from RONAN SLATER, who was diagnosed with early onset dementia a few years ago, and his wife, CATHERINE.
