What you will learn
The course covers signs of acute deterioration, a structured assessment within your role, abnormal observations and trends, and how to escalate to the right person.
Signs of deterioration
Recognise signs of acute clinical deterioration. The aim is to notice change early, while it is still within your role to act.
Structured assessment
Undertake a structured assessment within the participant’s role and scope of practice. You are not being asked to work outside your scope — you are learning a consistent way to look at the patient.
Observations and trends
Identify abnormal observations and trends requiring escalation. A single reading matters; a worsening trend matters more.
Escalation pathways
Understand appropriate escalation pathways and communication, so concerns go to the right person without delay.
Clinical communication
Use structured clinical communication when escalating concerns, so the receiving clinician gets a clear picture of what you have found.
Response and review
Understand the importance of timely response, documentation and ongoing review after you have raised the alarm.
