“I am more confident that I have up-to-date, sound knowledge base when presenting my concerns to medical staff. I have the knowledge to accurately assess my patients and to clearly identify the deteriorating patient. It has given me a deeper understanding of disease states and the meaning of signs and symptoms and the importance and relevance of evidence based management.”
