Addressing unmet need through a model of care for people with mild cognitive impairment in Zenadth Kes and Northern Peninsula Area (MCI-MOC)
Description: People at risk of dementia often develop memory problems several years before a dementia diagnosis, known as mild cognitive impariemnt (MCI). There are interventions for MCI but access is usually limited to a few metropolitan memory clinics. We want to work with Torres Strait communities to co-design such interventions that suit their lifestyle and they think will work best. We will then pilot these interventions as well as set up a model of care for people with MCI in the Torres Strait.
