2008 International Delirium Congress held last week in Helsinki was a resounding success.  Quality lectures were given by a number of international experts.  Presentations ranged from the difficulty with animal models to a comparative study of delirium assessment tools in critical care.  The keynote lecture topics feature in the September issue of Journal of Psychosomatic research.  The 200 delegates came from a number of disciplines and countries including Australia - but next year its in Leeds.  Do yourself and your patients a favour be there!
