EUROPEAN DELIRIUM ASSOCIATION ANNUAL MEETING 2025 - SAVE THE DATE


​delirium: many factors - one approach
Hamburg, Germany, 12 - 14 NOVEMBER 2025


Join the EDA from the 12th - 14th November 2025. Our annual conference will take place at the Catholic Academy Conference Centre in Hamburg, Germany. The theme of this meeting will be DELIRIUM: MANY FACTORS - ONE APPROACH!

​What we do, What You can Do

Delirium is a common and potentially serious medical condition that can affect the elderly, the frail, the sick, the cognitively impaired - but more generally: everyone - given "stressing" events.

​These may include - among others - infections, operations, change in  or withdrawal  from  medication, sensory deprivation  or even simply removal from one's familiar environment such as hospitalization.

Delirium is a state of acute confusion.
What we do?
​​The European Delirium Association is a professional association providing a platform  for practitioners,  researchers, policy makers and other interested to network for the benefit of patients.
Our goal is to move forward with all those dedicated to delirium  care and research, joining efforts to  promote the disorder's visibility  not only in the general public, but also in the medical professional setting.
What you can do?
​Join us in this endeavour, by:

American Delirium Society Webinar - Delphi algorithms for management of delirium and acute encephalopathy

The American Delirium Society (ADS) will host a free webinar on Friday, February 21, at 17:00 (time zone: Amsterdam/CET).

​In this webinar, Dr. Thomas Ottens (The Hague, Netherlands) will review the recently published Delphi Algorithms for Management of Delirium and Acute Encephalopathy.

This set of clinical practice algorithms were developed by an international expert consensus panel, many of which are EDA members. The algorithms are intended to assist healthcare providers to implement evidence-based and well structured delirium care during hospitalization. 

Dr. Ottens will discuss how the initiative for this project emerged, how the algorithms were developed and how they can be implemented in clinical practice. After the webinar, former ADS president Christine Waszynski, DNP, will host a live Q&A session.
