Public benefits
The benefits of this purpose are that primarily patients in NI at risk of deterioration are more easily identified in a timely manner so that steps may be taken to address this thereby improving their health outcomes. Such early intervention has been recognised as being of benefit by National audits which indicated that many patients have shown
signs of deterioration before collapse. The effectiveness of education in benefiting the health outcomes of patients will be assessed by the use of pre and post teaching questionnaires, along with structured feedback submissions from those receiving training, surveys and assessment by the trainers as to the improved ability of the trainees. Any treatment or procedure carries with it a risk of unintended effects, but by using a recognised international body of peer reviewed teaching, adjusted to local practice by experienced healthcare providers, such hazards should be minimised. Therefore, through shared experience and teaching the benefits outweigh potential harm. Our beneficiaries are the General Public at risk of deterioration in their medical condition to the extent that they would require Critical Care. The private benefits flowing from this purpose are to the necessary suppliers of services in the form of a local public conference centre for educational events, and the suppliers of educational tools used in instruction. Individual instructors are not paid for their services or for travel to any venue used. The trainers may accrue an incidental benefit in that both enhancement of healthcare skills or teaching experience will occur but these are necessary and incidental to the goal of improving the management of the deteriorating patient. The educational benefits to the trainees ensure doctors and nurses are more confident in identifying early signs of deterioration this being necessary to our purpose.
