The RCN’s Older People’s Forum is encouraging nursing staff to become delirium champions to help improve early identification in older people.
A new initiative, supported by My Dementia Improvement Network, will raise awareness of the importance of quickly diagnosing delirium and offer health care staff the tools to identify the condition. With more older people than ever living alone at home, it is often down to community health care workers to spot the early signs of delirium and to know how to escalate a case.
