It's National Biscuit Day, which means you're obliged to eat biscuits - and nothing but biscuits - for 24 hours.
Anyone caught breaking the rules will be immediately arrested by a police officer dressed as a giant Hobnob.

Delirium has a visibility problem, not just a diagnostic one.
For reasons that remain unclear to me we collectively walk past by the suffering caused by #delirium without truly seeing it.

When caring for someone with #delirium, your approach matters as much as any medical intervention. Touch their hand gently. Speak with warmth.
