Looking forward to talking at my favourite conference of the year - #NHSDelirium

So much time has passed since my journey began, but the experiences are still so relevant.

There is still so much to do 👊

Missed #delirium = longer stays, more complications, higher mortality, massive costs.

But hey, at least we saved 2 minutes by not doing a 4AT in the ED.

A virtual tour of our #ICU, developed with patients, to help those trying to make sense of their experience afterwards.

Very proud of this.

Families: Caring for someone with #delirium is exhausting. Your wellbeing matters too. Take breaks, seek support, ask for help.

Delirium has a visibility problem, not just a diagnostic one.

How many cases of delirium are you missing day to day by not looking proactively?

➡️ Always provide clear information, including telling the patient they have delirium, during the episode. Then explain & de-brief afterwards.

Delirium develops over hours/days, dementia over months/years.

"Dad was fine yesterday, today he's a different person" = think delirium, not dementia progression.

Ultimately, We don’t look at patients perceptions of recovery well enough - and often those with severe disability perceive their recovery more positively than we expect… the disability paradox (this is really important) #Lives2025 #criticalcare

Kindness goes a long way in #delirium.
