About this project

This study is leading the way in improving the detection, assessment, management and prevention of delirium in specialist palliative care units.

We will assess the feasibility of using an implementation strategy to enable guideline-adherent delirium care in hospices with the aim of reducing patient days with delirium.

We will conduct the following:

  1. Co-design a flexible implementation strategy, drawing on the Creating Learning Environments for Collaborative Care (CLECC), for use in Specialist Palliative Care Units (CLECC-SPCU)
  2. Explore the feasibility of a future effectiveness evaluation study of CLECC-SPCU supported delirium care on clinical outcomes
  3. Assess the acceptability and flexibility of the co-designed CLECC-SPCU in three SPCUs
