This conference focuses on recognising & responding to the deteriorating patient and ensuring best practice in the use of NEWS2. The conference will include National Developments including the recent recommendations on NEWS2 and Covid-19, and implementing the recommendations from the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch Report Investigation into recognising and responding to critically unwell patients. The conference will include practical case study based sessions on identifying patients at risk of deterioration, improving practice in patient observations, the role of human factors in responding to the deteriorating patient, improving escalation and understanding success factors in escalation, sepsis & Covid-19, involving patients and families in recognising deterioration, using clinical judgement, and improving the communication and use of NEWS2 in the community, including care homes, and at the interface of care. The Recording of NEWS2 score, escalation time and response time for unplanned critical care admissions is now an NHS CQUIN goal;

"The NEWS2 protocol is the RCP and NHS-endorsed best practice for spotting the signs of deterioration, the importance of which has been emphasised during the pandemic. This measure would incentivise adherence to evidence-based steps in the identification and recording of deterioration, enabling swifter response, which will reduce the rate of cardiac arrest and the rate of preventable deaths in England. As many as 20,000 deaths in hospitals each year could be preventable and this CQUIN aims to reduce that figure by 4,000. Deterioration is linked to 90% of NHS bed days. Reducing the need for higher levels of care will free up capacity particularly in ICU by avoiding admissions and reducing lengths of stay, both of which are significant factors in the NHS’s recovery efforts."
