About
Developed by a panel of experts including dementia consultants and nurse practitioners in aged care.
The Delirium Care: what you need to know resource was developed by a panel of experts including dementia consultants and nurse practitioners in aged care. This resource was further endorsed by their wide uptake across NSW Health.
The online modules were developed directly from the
Delirium Care: what you need to know resources.
Two modules have been developed for registered nurses and a Delirium Awareness module developed for care employees such as an assistant in nursing or enrolled nurse.
