The Intensive Care Foundation (Research arm of Intensive Care Society) currently is running a research prioritisation exercise and prevention/treatment of delirium is one of the proposals.  So all you ICS members out there have a look at the proposals you have been sent - take part.  The delirium based study is Number 6. 

Clinicians of the ICS make your vote count!

There will be a study day held on Sept 12th in Cambridge on Delirium and Restraints in ICU.  It is only £50 (free to NHS staff and members of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire critical care network).  There is an excellent programme of speakers.  So if you are finding agitated ICU patients a challenge then you may find the answers here.
