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.

At our event in GM only a couple of colleagues from memory clinics. Information on delirium should helpfully be part of post diagnostic support for people with dementia.
Why do most #dementia charities show such little awareness of #delirium?

It's something that needs to change.

See attached for an open letter to CEOs of dementia charities.

#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 👏👏
The Health Innovation Network has launched a new "game changing" guide to help primary care and integrated care boards understand and address problematic polypharmacy with practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce overprescribing. Read it here: thehealthinnovationnetwork.co.uk/news/launch-...
