The session was attended by residents, family members, management, technical and support staff, who filled the institution's communal room. The session was led by Prof. Paulo Sargento (academic at the Faculty of Law of Lusófona University and at the Ribeiro Sanches School of Health of IPLUSO), at the invitation of the Director, Dr. Pedro Costa.
Lasting two hours, the meeting featured the active and enthusiastic participation of residents and family members, who showed particular interest in the topic, making several comments, asking questions, requesting information and seeking tips on how to deal with the symptoms and the disease, both as residents and as carers.
