"World #Delirium Day is an excellent opportunity for us to take stock and see how our understanding of delirium has progressed to date but also to do our bit to raise awareness and understanding of this condition outside of healthcare settings." bgs.org.uk/blog/world-deliri…
Today is World Delirium Awareness Day!
Many of our patients will be suffering from delirium, but it is often missed and can lead to falls.
Have you noticed a change in your patients? #ThinkDelirium and complete a 4AT assessment. #WDAD2024 #ThinkFalls
