Overview
The Managing the Deteriorating Patient programme offered at Liverpool John Moores University enables learners to critically explore the presentation of deterioration across neurological, respiratory, renal and septic systems, including compensatory mechanisms that may mask early warning signs. Through an evidence-based approach, students interpret escalation processes and analyse factors influencing responses, including human, organisational and communication issues.Key facts
The module also examines barriers to recognition, early warning systems, national patient safety incidents and out-of-hospital management. This learning is vital to improving patient outcomes, strengthening clinical judgement and enhancing patient safety across diverse primary, secondary and community healthcare settings.
The application of theory is enhanced by simulated practice in the university's state of the art simulation facilities.
