Acute Deteriorating Patient Seminar
The ECT4Health Acute Deteriorating Patient Seminar is a two day program which overviews the assessment and management of patients with a range of presentations that represent acute deterioration. Throughout the Acute Deteriorating Patient Seminar we discuss physiology, assessment and management of patients with surgical and medical problems.
It is inevitable that we care for people who deteriorate, nurses need to be a step ahead and recognise the subtle signs of deterioration.
This course seminar is jam packed full of so much that you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it earlier!
