CST Provision
At present, Mrs Xavier and our Geriatric Team members are actively running the CST group sessions in Hospital Sungai Buloh Malaysia. Unfortunately, the trial was put on hold during the height of COVID for 2 years and it was resumed recently.
A new CST provision is also being set up KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital, Selangor, Malaysia. Currently, the training of in-house nurses and therapists (occupational therapist and physiotherapists) is taking place. The CST program is planned to start in February.
CST Research
Clinical effectiveness of CST is measured based on daily living functional activities, as well as other aspects of dementia screening and assessments. Also there is a cultural adaptation of the CST programme at the centre.
