Who has created the training?
The training has been developed by the Dementia and Delirium working group of Joined up Care Derbyshire. The group has been working to raise awareness of delirium, and in particular the detrimental impact of delirium on people with dementia.
What is delirium?
Delirium is a common, serious but often treatable condition that starts suddenly in someone who is unwell. Delirium causes a person to become easily distracted and more confused than normal. Delirium can be very distressing for the person and their family.
