Recognition, escalation and the golden hour — the ward-ready reference.
A placement-ready reference on identifying deteriorating adult patients and initiating the Sepsis Six within one hour. Aligned to NICE NG51, NEWS2 (RCP 2017), the UK Sepsis Trust red/amber-flag criteria, BTS oxygen guidance and the NMC Code. Includes: NEWS2 scoring in detail; red vs amber flag screening; step-by-step Sepsis Six; SBAR escalation with a worked example; three clinical case studies; OSCE examiner prompts; and a self-test with answer key.
Really helpful for placement prep, comprehensive coverage.
The Sepsis Six section is gold. I referred back to it constantly during my acute placement and it gave me confidence to escalate appropriately.
