Ms. Petrina Donnelly, Chief Director of Nursing & Midwifery, RCSI Hospital Group said “It was a fantastic event showcasing of a wide range of presenters which provided an ideal opportunity to come together as a group of experts and practitioners to address the many challenging aspects for staff around patients who deteriorate. The Q&A session and panel discussions proved most valuable in demonstrating much of the good work that is being done to overcome some of these challenges in our hospitals.”
