Shared international experience.

It was our best #WDAD2025 in Greater Manchester yet. 100 delegates. 30 on waiting list.
New learning and connections. International visitors. Lived experience of delirium. I gained so much. Going all in for delirium (thanks @amaclullich.bsky.social). We have come so far, more to do.

Delirium in palliative care | Information for professionals Delirium is confusion that comes on suddenly. It’s a serious and common condition in palliative care, especially towards the end of life.

#Delirium is very common in people who are the end of life.

Yet it is still underdiagnosed, and unfortunately this often means unnecessary distress for patients and their families.

We have taken over 1,300 people through our Polypharmacy Action Learning Sets. Through this work, we recognised the need to support NHS organisations to develop systems and services to address problematic polypharmacy and overprescribing. We hope this helps. 😊 @stevechemist.bsky.social πŸ‘πŸ‘

40% of ED attendances are over 65yrs. Average wait for admission in>75yrs =12 hours. 10% attendances from care homes. Waiting is especially bad for older -risk of delirium, deconditioning, acute kidney injury/LOS. But much could be done to avoid these probs @gerisoc.bsky.social @rcem.bsky.social
