Illustrated Story B01, with a text transcript.

Read story B01: Please look again (image and text)
Six-panel illustrated story. Yesterday, Ken, a man in his forties, chats with his wife Mei after surgery. Today he looks confused and asks where he is. Mei describes the change to a nurse, who suggests tiredness. Mei asks for a delirium assessment. When the concern remains unresolved, she asks for the nurse in charge. At Ken's bedside, the senior nurse says she will arrange medical assessment now. Cream title: Please look again. Green footer: Concerned about delirium? Ask again if you have not been heard.

If a sudden change in your relative's thinking or behaviour has not been assessed, you can ask again. Say what has changed, when it began, and what they were like before. Use the word delirium.

If you still have no clear response, ask to speak to the nurse in charge and ask who will check the person, and when. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. If they are getting worse, ask for urgent help immediately.
