Recognising and Responding to the Deteriorating Patient

This one day conference focuses on recognising and responding to the deteriorating patient through improving the reliability of patient observations and ensuring quality of care to reduce failure to rescue of acutely ill patients. The conference opens with a National Update on on developments and improving the effectiveness of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS).

The conference continues with a practical case study based sessions on identifying patients at risk of deterioration, improving practice in patient observations, responding to the deteriorating patient, and improving the communication of NEWS at the interface of care. Extended sessions will focus on cardiac arrests as never events, and improving the response to sepsis.
