Module overview

To develop their knowledge and skills in relation to the identification, assessment, and management of the acutely unwell adult patient who is at risk of deterioration or critical illness.

As well as exploring issues relating to the assessment and interventions required for the critically unwell adult, the unit will encourage and enable students to take a ‘wider view’ of the care of the patient who is at risk of deterioration in the clinical environment.

By the end of the module you will be able to identify a development, improvement or change in practice which may improve the care given to patients who are at risk of deterioration within your own practice setting.
