The BPSD Quick Reference Cards is a new resource that provides succinct and easy to access information on BPSD for health professionals and care staff.

The resource consists of a set of 15 colour coded flip cards addressing 10 common BPSD, delirium, recommended assessments and frameworks and is small enough to slip into your pocket. Two additional cards designed to clip onto a lanyard contain checklists on: how well am I communicating; understanding the behaviour being observed; and getting to know the person living with dementia.

This resource was developed by the QLD DTSC for the TRACS Community of Interprofessional Practice-Dementia.

Information on how to order this resource is available on the DTSC Published Resources page.
