PARTICIPANTS REQUIRED : When to stop driving? An exploration into driving cessation decision-making among people with cognitive impairment
Kushalata Baral, M Parsons, A StewartSchool of Nursing and Midwifery, The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New ZealandIntroduction: Driving cessation among older people with cognitive impairment is a complex and emotionally significant issue with major implications for autonomy, safety, mobility, and quality of life.

Afternoon tea ... Afternoon Quiz ... Quiz Master, Paul Bushnell ...Sunday 10th March 2024
I had never heard about the ‘tangled web we weave’, however other people in the room all broke out into a chant to complete the line of the poem.
