Panel Content:
Lessons learned from International markets and practical translation of application into the Australian market are discussed by ACCPA members who recently participated in a SAGE Study tour to France. The French are facing the same challenges as Australia but what are they doing differently to provide best practice solutions for the growing senior population of France? Panel members will discuss the disruption to Leaders required and how connecting globally can assist local industry to implement change. A highlight of the study tour was a visit to LANDIS ALZHEIMERS VILLAGE, a dementia village gaining world wide interest. The panel will bring the audience on a journey of design and model of care changes that they experienced first hand that could easily be implemented in Australia, and challenge the courage to step outside the box to think laterally and make change.

Gaining comprehensive understanding of innovative aged care models & first hand exposure to cutting-edge practices in dementia care, by observing the village’s design and operation, panel members gathered valuable insights they will share during the session to enable a changed approach approach to designing and managing care facilities.
