The full day Adult Deterioration: Assessment; Prevention; Treatment (ADAPT) focuses on the recognition and response to the clinically deteriorating adult in the clinical setting. The course utilises a mixture of presentations, skills workshops, case studies and hands on simulated clinical scenarios to apply knowledge and clinical skills using a structured ABCDE approach to assessing and managing clinical deterioration. This approach to learning facilitates understanding of the core physiological changes linked to clinical deterioration and applies rapid assessment and intervention alongside teamwork, communication, and collaboration across professional groups.

The course consists of four hours of pre-course reading and an eight-hour face to face workshop. Pre-course activity access and course location details will be emailed to participants approximately two weeks in advance.

This course is suitable for all health professionals who care for adult patients in the acute setting and would like to improve or refresh their patient assessment and management, prioritization, and clinical reasoning skills (nurses, midwives, doctors, paramedics).
