Delirium Care Modules
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 below 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.
Health practitioners can deliver the Delirium course using the Delirium Flipchart and Delirium booklet independently in their own workplaces. Alternatively, the ADHERe team can collaborate and deliver a bespoke Delirium Care course for team members in your organisation.
