In Autumn 2023 the SPSP Deteriorating Patient driver diagram and change package was updated following publication of the SIGN Care of the Deteriorating Patient Guideline (2023). The driver diagram and change package is a resource to support NHS boards with their deteriorating patient quality improvement work. The update is evidence informed and was co-designed with the SPSP Deteriorating Patient improvement network. The network includes clinical and quality improvement experts from across NHS Scotland.
