WE ARE SEEKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED DELIRIUM AS A PATIENT, OR AS A CARER/SUPPORT PERSON FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD DELIRIUM

As a person with experience of delirium, (either someone who has had delirium and recovered, or someone who helped with that recovery), we’d like to invite you to be part of a focus group and workshop to help design a rehabilitation program for delirium. We’re interested in what challenges you faced, and what would have helped you recover in the weeks and months afterwards. Your thoughts, ideas and experiences are highly valued and will be used to design a program to help recovery after delirium. The sessions are expected to take 1-2 hours, will be in person and will be audio-recorded.

Please contact if interested:
