About

Early conversations and planning for a time when driving oneself is not possible, will ensure the maintenance of important social activities.

The online Dementia and Driving Education Module is a freely available 3-hour self-led interactive course for health professionals.

The course was developed with the support of Catalyst Foundation and has been delivered face to face to 281 healthcare professionals across Australia, including over 100 general practitioners.

To determine the effectiveness of the course a single group pretest-posttest survey design was used to measure changes in outcome measures of self-reported knowledge, confidence, and competence. The findings of the study can be found here:
