Introduction

I can prevent delirium poster

Course aims

We’ll look at what delirium is and how to help people to deal with it. This is important as delirium often goes unrecognised. In people who have pre-existing health conditions, including mental health conditions, delirium can be especially difficult to identify.

We hope that by the end of this course you will have:

  • An awareness of what delirium is.
  • Looked at why we need to know about delirium.
  • Thought about the causes and signs of delirium.
  • Knowledge about how to help someone deal with delirium.
  • Knowledge about where to find out more information about delirium.
