The Power of the iPod: An Introduction to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto's Music Project

The Delirium Care Network is a passion project, created to provide a meaningful contribution to the community's efforts to advocate for the prevention, detection and treatment of delirium. Their website features resources for healthcare providers, patients, and family members and their Twitter feed, @DeliriumCare, features the latest in delirium news and research. 

 

Founder, Christopher Gabor became interested in delirium advocacy after co-developing a pre-op delirium risk screening tool as a part of Southlake's SFH ACTION project. Since then he has been involved in a number of delirium research projects and currently coordinates a delirium prevention program at Hamilton Health Sciences. 

NYGH has created a  Senior Friendly corporate council which uses an innovative model of leadership to ensure spread of senior friendly to all areas of the hospital. They use a dyad of co-chairs, one from a clinical area and one from non-clinical area of the hospital and stagger the rotation of the co- chairs each year. It has been highly effective, distributes the leadership roles and has enhanced uptake of senior friendly principles effectively.
