Delirium Learning Application vs UK DCD Risk Calculator

Delirium is a common but serious condition that is under recognised and associated with poor outcomes. However, delirium can be prevented and treated if dealt with urgently. It is therefore essential that all staff who care for people in hospital and the community are aware of how to prevent delirium and how to ensure that someone with suspected delirium receives rapid assessment and appropriate management. This mobile application is designed to support staff working in all care sectors to enhance their knowledge and skills in working with people who have delirium. It complements the delirium online learning resource available on learnPro

There are more modern DCD prediction calculators now available.
