This video explains why the National Early Warning Score was developed; how it can be used to identify acute deterioration, including sepsis and the benefits of a standardised early warning system.

Back spotfacing and back counterboring tooling are excellent for machining difficult or remote areas on a workpiece, facing or recessing areas in a part that will not machine conventionally, or machining on the inside or backside of a workpiece. Like back boring, back spotfacers and back counterbores are multi-flute tools pulled by an arbor.

However, confusion caused by the current variation in practice can compromise patient safety, something that would be eliminated by use of a common tool. Through standardisation of NEWS2, we can reduce the number of patients whose conditions deteriorate whilst in hospital, and potentially save over 1,800 lives a year.

NEWS is a tool developed by the Royal College of Physicians which improves the detection and response to clinical deterioration in adult patients and is a key element of patient safety and improving patient outcomes.

In January 2019, NHS England, in partnership with NHS Improvement, Health Education England and the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) published the NEWS2 resource pack. Developed with clinical input, the pack provides access to tools and resources which support planning and delivery of NEWS2 implementation, and illustrates practical examples of how it is being implemented across the country.
