'If time becomes short, what is most important to you?' Hospital #HealthcareProfessionals excel in treating & fixing ill-health, but another approach can be helpful when providing #EndofLifeCare.

Human kindness can significantly reduce the distress associated with #delirium.

Eye contact, gentle words, reassurance, explanation of context - simple and quick to do, and very effective in improving the experience of the delirious patient.

Build this into every interaction.
