DETECT stands for Detecting Deterioration, Evaluation, Treatment, Escalation and Communicating in Teams. The program has been developed for multi disciplinary teams (Doctors, Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health) to confidently identify and manage patients who are showing signs of deterioration.
Target
PLEASE note: Intern's RMO, New Cohort Graduate Nurses, CNEs & Nurses who act as Team Leader will be given priority in enrolment.

- Know when a Clinical Review or Rapid Response should be activated (PLEASE NOTE: New Rapid Response process coming August 2022)
- Provide simple and timely interventions to reverse deterioration
- Communicate effectively as a team member
- Understand the physiology of the deteriorating patient
- Develop a framework for detection, evaluation and treatment of the deteriorating patient
- Learn to use the ABCDEFG Algorithm in patient assessment
Theory modules (Foundations) will include tutorials, short quiz questions, case studies, and a post theory final quiz.
Practical simulation (Workshop) will include hands-on implementation of theory learnings
