    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of mandatory EWS training for nurses

    Wider context from the report

    “During the evidence the ward sister gave evidence and she was of the opinion that there should be mandatory training on EWS for nurses. It was clear in the evidence that the protocol in relation to the EWS score was not followed and I was told that the EWS training was not mandatory currently. This case highlights why EWS scores are so important to the well-being of patients ”
