Delirium 101: From Evidence to Excellence
About
Join us for a hands-on, multidisciplinary delirium masterclass designed for doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals working across acute, subacute, and community settings.This one-day practical course combines evidence-based teaching with interactive simulation to build real-world skills in delirium prevention, screening, and management. You’ll learn how to recognise delirium early, implement gold-standard care, and translate evidence into everyday clinical practice.
The morning sessions focus on understanding delirium’s impact, applying prevention strategies, embedding screening, and exploring what best-practice delirium care looks like at a system level, including a dedicated session on culturally responsive care.
The afternoon features simulation workshops, giving participants the opportunity to practise assessment, communication, and management strategies in realistic clinical scenarios.
Whether you’re new to delirium care or looking to refine existing practice, this masterclass will provide practical tools you can use immediately in your workplace.
*This is an in-person event only
