Who is responsible
Editorial policy
Who is responsible for Delirium Support, how health information is checked and how corrections are handled.
Responsible author and publisher
Delirium Support is written and independently maintained by Professor Alasdair MacLullich, Professor of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. The University and NHS do not publish or endorse this website.
Evidence, review and limitations
Clinical and safety statements are checked against authoritative guidance and relevant published evidence. Detailed clinical pages show a review date. The present edition has been reviewed by its author and tested for whether the medical advice is safe, clear and easy to use, but it has not received a separate named independent clinical review. It does not replace assessment or advice from the clinicians responsible for an individual.
The site is written for an international audience. Sources are identified by organisation and country where relevant. Advice about accessing care refers to local services; clinical teams should follow the guidance used in their own setting.
Corrections
Report an error through the contact page, identifying the page, the statement concerned and a reliable source where possible. Changes that affect the meaning are checked before publication.
Family guide to delirium book
The site mentions a family guide book by Professor Alasdair MacLullich and Dr Sharmella Summan. Everything on the website Delirium Support is free and available without buying the book. The book offers an option for those who would like more information and depth.
