What's covered on the day?
This session will allow anyone involved in the assessment and monitoring of a patient, to develop the appropriate skills for completing an A-E assessment and recognising a physically ill patient or deteriorating patient. It will allow them to also then recognise at what point should further assistance be sought, and what can be done to promote the recovery and rescue of a deteriorating patient. The training will link to national guidance, policies and protocols that are applicable to measuring information objectively. The course will also equip learners with appropriate handover tools for escalating issues.
Assessment
Learners will complete a knowledge assessment at the end of the course, along with practical tasks throughout the day allowing them to gain the confidence and competency in assessing a deteriorating patient using the A-E assessment protocol. A further 1 day can be provided where full assessment and skills based practice is included in simulation, although this does not form part of the main learning objectives.
