Samir Sinha, MD, DPhil, is a geriatrician and clinician scientist at Sinai Health System and the University Health Network in Toronto, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, and director of health policy research at Toronto Metropolitan University’s National Institute on Ageing. As a former member of the Government of Canada’s National Seniors Council and a current member of its Ministerial Advisory Board on Dementia, he helped to develop and now oversees Canada’s National Dementia Strategy and recently led the successful development of Canada’s new National Long-Term Care Services Standard. During this episode of McGill Cares, Dr. Sinha will share information on the National Institute on Ageing’s new national public education campaign, Small Steps Big Difference. He will show how consistent actions over time can lead to significant positive outcomes and he will provide examples of 14 simple ways that we can take action to reduce or delay our dementia risk by up to 45 per cent.
