An introduction to the course

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.
You will learn:
- What delirium is.
- Why we need to know about delirium.
- About the causes and signs of delirium.
- How to help someone deal with delirium.
- Where to find out more information about delirium.
