CHEWS is a state of the art RCN accredited (CPD 8 Hours) one day course specifically designed for nurses based on the 'Early Warning Scoring' (EWS) systems used in today's modern hospitals, based on the maxim of 'prevention rather than cure'.
CHEWS covers some of the most topical issues facing nurses in residential and community settings today (Sepsis, etc.), delivering very obvious benefits by realising their potential to be able to spot signs of illness and/or deterioration in a resident/patient that much earlier, making them an even more valuable asset to the care setting by training them in improvement methods, realising better outcomes, ensuring that any move to an acute care setting is only required when absolutely necessary, thus further supporting the 'out of hospital strategy'.
