Delirium Café: interactive learning to enhance delirium care

The aim of Delirium Café was to try a new learning method to increase awareness of delirium and improve delirium care in an acute hospital setting in Helsinki, Finland.

World Café-an active learning method, with four facilitators and four stations covering important aspects of delirium recognition and management, was used.

22 junior doctors and 4 members of the senior staff participated in the event on 13th of March 2019, the World Delirium Awareness Day (WDAD). Nobody dropped out during the 1 h training. Feedback on the educational method was positive.

Delirium Café seems to be both feasible and applicable as a new interactive-learning method in postgraduate medical teaching.
