This course has been designed to train community and care home healthcare professionals to competently assess patients who are acutely unwell or physiological unstable in the primary care setting. By equipping them with relevant skills and knowledge, the course intends to enable nursing staff to have the confidence to initiate timely care of deteriorating patients, enhance patient safety, and to help reduce avoidable readmissions to acute services.

Format

This two day course combines a variety of lectures, workshops and simulation exercises and will cover:

• A-E assessment of the unwell adult patient
• Sepsis in the community
• Communication skills using SBAR
• Basic Life Support
• Developing partnerships between acute and primary care
