Help shape the future of delirium research in the UK

The James Lind Alliance Delirium UK Priority Setting Partnership led by Professors Elizabeth Sampson and Emma Vardy are launching a national survey to identify the most important questions that future research should address

Delirium affects thousands across the UK — and we need your help to shape the future of research.

The James Lind Alliance Delirium UK Priority Setting Partnership led by Professors Elizabeth Sampson and Emma Vardy are gathering questions from people with lived experience, carers, and Health and Social Care Professionals to identify the most important areas for future research.

Delirium can affect anyone who is seriously unwell — but older adults are most at risk.

It’s linked to serious outcomes including causes falls, longer hospital admissions, post-traumatic stress, nursing home placement, dementia and death.

Despite its impact, delirium is often overlooked. There are still many unanswered questions about how best to prevent, treat, and support those affected.
