National Early Warning Score (NEWS) was released in 2012 and has been widely used throughout all healthcare settings including the NHS. It has now been updated in December 2017 to NEWS 2.

The Royal College of Physicians states 'The NEWS was developed to improve the detection of and response to clinical deterioration in patients with acute illness. NEWS was created to standardise the process of recording, scoring and responding to changes in routinely measured physiological parameters in acutely ill patients.'

This is a mandatory requirement for all health care professionals.
