From 21-27 September Australia will observe Dementia Action Week 2020. September is also observed as World Alzheimer’s Month. In support of these, the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) is hosting a webinar Dementia – A Patient Centred Approach in collaboration with Arjo.

Dementia is defined as a “usually progressive condition (such as Alzheimer's disease) marked by the development of multiple cognitive deficits (such as memory impairment, aphasia, and the inability to plan and initiate complex behavior).”1

Arjo is pleased to announce the launch of an extensive selection of BIM and CAD drawings to support architects, designers and planners by offering a range room and equipment solutions for the Acute and Long Term Care healthcare settings.

Training and development is our highest priority. Through our global Academy, we have recently run a series of webinars covering improving caregiver workflow, mitigating cross-contamination, the impact of early mobilisation on rehabilitation, reducing the risk of patient handling associated injury and more.

Our auditable decontamination processes consist of three phases: Collection, Decontamination, and Product Testing.

The wellbeing of our employees, our customers and their patients and residents is our priority.
