Making the Transition from Driving to Not Driving
| Event Date | 16 Oct 2025 |

The National Office for Traffic Medicine are delighted to host a free 2 CPD points webinar on the 16th of October 2025 from 17:30 to 19:30 called ‘Making the Transition from Driving to Not Driving’.
There will be a focus on the psychological and social impact of this driving transition and a discussion on the patterns of mobility in this cohort in Ireland. The transition from driving to not driving generally starts with informing a person they may be unable to continue to drive which can be a very challenging conversation for both the person delivering this news and the person who is receiving it. Guidance on how to conduct this discussion in an emotionally attentive and supportive manner and how to support the person or family members will be provided. Consideration will also be given to how the person imparting the news can themselves be impacted.
Speakers on the day are:
- Prof Desmond O’Neill: Director of the NOTM
- Prof Charles Musselwhite: Professor of Psychology, with a Chair in the Psychology Department at Aberystwyth University. He is also currently Head of the Psychology Department. He is also Co-Director the University’s Research Centre for Transport and Mobility (CeTrAM).
- Dr Daragh Keogh: A Chartered Counselling Psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland, an Assistant Professor on the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology in the School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin, and a certified Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist and supervisor.
