Improve your confidence in prioritising patient care using a systematic C.A.L.M. approach with the Virtual Patient Bay learning programme

The Virtual Patient Bay is an interactive online supportive course that helps the learner to prioritise patient care using a systematic C.A.L.M approach when caring for a group of patients:

C = can’t wait do as soon as possible

A = absolutely must be done now
