About this study day

This half day course aims to equip Health Care Assistants (HCA’s) or Clinical Support Workers (CWS’s) to recognise physiological signs of patient deterioration & to communicate this effectively within the clinical team. The course is suitable for those working in the acute hospital and also the community sectors.

The programme will cover:

• Recognition of airway, breathing & circulation problems/deterioration.

The course will be taught using presentations, group discussion, simulation and will supported by a course workbook, which students will receive prior to the day.
