Christine talks us through dementia, what is it? What common forms may we come across and how does delirium differ? And how do we best manage and treat patients with dementia in the pre-hospital emergency setting?
Top 3 tips:

• Use words which ask for a simple answer
• Engage with relevant others where possible to ensure wishes are supported and the person feels safe
