    Overview

    Sensory, cognitive, and motor functioning become more inter-related as we age. These important intersections have been highlighted by the 2019 WHO guidance on Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE). For example, hearing loss has been linked to elevated risks of falling and of cognitive impairment. There is a need for researchers and clinicians to move away from exploring these abilities in silos and to move towards a more integrated approach. To address these gaps, our workshop will promote interprofessional collaborations to bridge the gap between research, practice and lifestyle. The structure of this workshop will include: 1) presentations from and discussion with older adults living with sensory, cognitive and motor declines, 2) four 15-minute talks from an interdisciplinary panel of researchers and clinicians specializing in audiology, physiotherapy, family medical practice, and nursing, and 3) facilitated small group discussions to brainstorm how to promote interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaborations. 

    Learning Objectives

    Upon workshop completion, attendees will be able to: 

    • Explain the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaborations
