Training activity information
Details
Follow a patient being admitted to the department with an early warning score – through treatment and escalation pathways and discharge from the unit, and reflect on the journey
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
- Consider the application of the early warning score in patient and bed management
- Consider the impact follow up treatment on the patient’s quality of life and the role of follow up clinics in driving practice
- Consider the communication between members of the interdisciplinary team
