New brochure on delirium at the hospital
We have a new brochure available in French and in English for our NPRC users. It talks about delirium in the hospital and gives tips for families and friends. Feel free to come see us in room 354 during our opening hours to take a copy.
We also brought copies of the brochure to inpatient units of The Neuro for staff to deliver directly to family and friends.
