Any older person in your care may be at risk of delirium. Nearly 100% of cases are experienced by older people.
This common and sudden change in mental function involving confusion, anxiety, hallucinations or severe lethargy can have severe consequences, including an increased risk of dementia and death. Up to 1 in 3 people admitted to hospital become delirious at some time during their stay. In nursing homes and post acute care this rises to 60%. In residential care homes the incidence of delirium can be up to 40%. In all settings, it is often not diagnosed.
Thankfully, delirium is preventable and effective management can make a significant difference to a patient’s outcomes. As nurses, you have a vital role to play to make sure people get the care and support they need to prevent complications. This webinar will give you the information and practical strategies you need to prevent, detect, assess and manage this distressing condition.

We know acute mental health wards are not safe for patients or staff. Efforts to reduce coercion and restrictive practice are often complex and are poorly implemented. Services continue failure to understand incidents and the dynamic milieu of wards in real-time.  The staffing and skill mix of services are under constant pressure.
Recent research, #WardSonar, has successfully focused on enabling patients to highlight when the pressure on wards is building and can predict when incidents might occur. The challenge remains enabling staff to listen to and respond to real-time data.

Cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels) accounts for around 1 in 4 deaths in the UK each year.
A person’s risk of cardiovascular disease depends on their blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, smoking status, family history, and other factors. Identifying an individual’s risk allows preventative measures, such as changes in lifestyle or taking medicines, to reduce risk and improve health outcomes.
An assessment of cardiovascular risk is part of routine care, during the NHS Health Check, for example, but more can be done to optimise the identification of risk for the future. Join this webinar to learn about NIHR research on 3 promising new ways to identify people at risk of heart and circulation problems using information from clinical care that could enable intervention at an earlier stage leading to improved outcomes. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session.
This 1-hour, online webinar will cover new tools to predict future cardiovascular risk including:
a heart disease calculator n AI-enabled ECG AI analysis of heart scans. Presenters include:
Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox Dr Fu Siong Ng Dr Kenneth Chan Register
