Friday: The changing “me” as a result of dementia
During the course of dementia, a brain disease, the personality of the person with dementia can change. How do you ensure you keep taking care of both the “former me” and the “new me”? What should be done if the preferences and values of a person with dementia alter? What is the status of AD?

About the event
As a geriatric internist and ethicist affiliated with the Alzheimer Center Erasmus MC, Rozemarijn regularly comes into contact with these dilemmas. A careful and often difficult process is required to decide - of course together with the patient and/or family - what the right thing to do is. As chair of the Erasmus MC ethics expertise team, she supports medical professionals in making complex medical ethical decisions.
