Delirium and Dementia
A program to help you recognise symptoms of delirium, identify possible causes, promote recovery and develop prevention strategies for people living with dementia.
Details
The risk of delirium
Dementia increases the risk of delirium approximately five-fold. If untreated, delirium can increase the risk of:
- increased length of stay in hospital
- further complications
- cognitive and functional decline
- mortality.
Delirium identification and strategies
Learning how to prevent, identify and manage delirium reduces those risks, increasing the wellbeing of people living with dementia.
What you'll learn
