AIM - Acute Illness Management

One of the greatest challenges in clinical
practice is the timely recognition of acutely ill patient. Delays in
recognition and initiation of appropriate therapy will adversely affect patient
outcomes.


Acute Illness Management (AIM) training is an
enormously successful UK based training programme that aims to provide
systematic training for clinical staff in the assessment
and management of acutely ill patients. AIM training is
delivered in 94 NHS Hospitals in the UK, 2 UK Universities
where pre-registered nurses, midwives and physiotherapists are trained in AIM
and in hospitals in Canada, Africa and India.


The app will act as a quick reference guide
for clinical staff providing a systematic and structured ABCDE approach for
recognising and responding to acutely ill patient, screening and initial
management of sepsis and using the SBAR technique as a communication tool.
