Managing Behavioural and Psychological symptoms of Dementia and Delirium
Overview
This simulation aims to equip allied health professionals with skills in how to respond to patients who present with behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with dementia and delirium. There is a particular emphasis on developing a team approach to managing these presentations. Clinical specialists and educators may also find that they can adapt this simulation to suit differing clinical settings such as patients with a brain injury or a mental health condition. It can be individually facilitated or co-facilitated. The simulation can be conducted in a multi-purpose room, simulation centre or on a ward.
