  2. AIM To enable health care professionals : • To recognise the deteriorating patient • To initiate appropriate interventions • To initiate timely interventions

  3. Objectives • For participants to • Understand the importance & relevance of observations and the underlying physiology • Be able to recognise & interpret abnormal observations • To be able to communicate effectively to the right people at the right time • To feel confident in recognising & managing a deteriorating patient • To facilitate teamwork within the multidisciplinary team • To enable nurses, doctors & physiotherapists to develop management plans together

  4. Deteriorating Patient • (Recognition Intervention and Management of the Deteriorating Patient.) • Monday February 4th 2013 (08.00 to 16.30) • 08.00 Welcome and Introduction • 08.30 Early Warning Score/ICU Outreach • 09.00 Airways/Breathing/Pain • 10.00 Break • 10.20 Circulation – • 11.10 Neurological assessment – • 12.00 Urine Output • Temperature – • 12.50 Lunch break • 13.30 Scenarios- putting into practise • 15.15 Break • 15.30 Teamwork & Communication - Quiz • Recap & Question Time

  5. Problems encountered • The aim was for the course to be interdisciplinary – Nurses attend. Only one doctor so far. • I set up a team of dedicated speakers/trainers but some are not always available • Particularly difficult to find trainers for the scenarios among this group. • Attendees do not complete pre reading so are not as actively involved

  6. Positives • Good feedback from attendees • High attendance numbers • Instigates thought and discussion • Those who start off anxious about taking part in scenarios often feel ok afterwards

  7. Future plan • Change format to online learning followed by attendance at 3 hour session including scenarios • To encourage more active participation by attendees by necessary pre learning requirements • Need less trainers per course. • May be able to run more frequently
