Abstract

There are various approaches to providing specialist care for patients with delirium in general hospitals. Those described in the literature include joint geriatric/psychiatric units and consultation–liaison (CL) psychiatry services. The Ferdinande Johanna Kanjilal Travelling Fellowship, from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, UK, provided an opportunity to more fully understand each model. This letter outlines observations of the Australian Fellow (AW) of different service structures in the care of hospitalized older people with delirium in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
