| Associate Professor Gideon Caplan
Prince of Wales Clinical School - Department of MedicineStatement of Interests:
The delivery of acute health services has potential benefits and side effects of an order of magnitude greater than most pharmaceutical agents, yet are rarely vigorously studied. It may be possible to manipulate these effects by, for example, the substitution for care in the hospital with care at home, during the acute or post acute phases. This would bring benefits for health outcomes, patient satisfaction and costs to the health system which need to be defined. Delirium is the most common problem bedevilling older people in hospital. Yet little is understood about the basic pathophysiology of delirium. Using a multidisciplinary, bedside to lab bench approach, we hope to unlock the mystery of delirium.
