Welcome 2018 course

The Deteriorating Patient: Assessment, Recognition and Management. The course follows the journey of Mr Gary Mitchell. You will see Gary in a series of videos and watch his journey interacting with health care professionals. You will have an opportunity to reflect upon his care and recognise the importance of responding to ever changing situations as someone's health deteriorates.

Anyone is welcome to join the MOOC and you will see that we have coded the course material as 'Universal' for those parts everyone should be able to undertake, and 'Advanced' for those who already have some knowledge and expertise in patient care.
