Recognising deterioration and supporting people with acute care needs during COVID-19 will be of value to staff caring for people in a care home or in their own homes, or those supporting staff in their role.
The resource provides guidance on the speedy recognition, assessment and escalation of concerns for a person who may be deteriorating. It also provides guidance on ongoing observation and monitoring of the unwell person, as well as the administration of oxygen. This builds on the many and varied skills staff already have.
We are keen to hear your views on this new resource; you can share your comments with us using the anonymised feedback form in the website.
