RESTORE2 & NEWS2
RESTORE2 and NEWS2 training gives your team an understanding of both protocols. Delivered on-site by a registered nurse, with practical work wherever the subject allows.
Why this training matters
NEWS2, developed by the Royal College of Physicians, is the national standard for spotting and responding to deterioration across the NHS; RESTORE2 builds on it for care settings, where the overt signs of deterioration in older adults are often absent.
