- Title
Suboptimal care 10 years on.

- Abstract
The author reflects on the issue of suboptimal care for the deteriorating patient in Great Britain. Reports from the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) reveal errors and the inability of practitioners to recognize and act upon patient deterioration. This has significant implications for critical care nurses in terms of the detail and attention that is to be given to patient handover.
