Course Overview

The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) is a system used by clinicians to spot when a patient's physical health is getting worse, allowing them to get help quickly.

The updated version, NEWS2, helps to save more lives and improve patient care by:

• Better identifying patients who need urgent medical attention.
• Quickly flagging patients with sepsis who are at high risk.
• Improving how oxygen use is recorded and scored for patients with certain respiratory conditions, like COPD.

In short, NEWS2 is a vital tool for improving patient outcomes.
