Interactive nursing case studies
The clues are always in the notes.
You get a fictional patient file: handwritten nursing notes, an obs chart, a NEWS2 score, bloods, a handover on pink carbon paper.
Somewhere in there is the deterioration nobody has flagged yet.
Find it, and decide what you'd do about it.

How a case works
Three steps, the way you'd work a real shift.
1 Open the file
Lined nursing notes, carbon handover sheets, lab printouts, obs charts — exactly as they arrive on a ward.
2 Pin what matters
Anything can go on the evidence board. Some of it changes your management. Some of it is noise, just like the real thing.
3 Commit, then check your reasoning
Give your differentials, your NEWS2 and your escalation. Then break the seal and see what the clues were pointing at.

Playing without a facilitator?
Then you're the facilitator. Every case ships with a sealed answer envelope — the working diagnosis, the clues that mattered, the distractors, and the reasoning behind each one. A tutor is optional; the debrief isn't.
One patient. One file. One evening.
Start with the free file — the complete experience, sealed envelope and all. If you like it, the rest are £9.99 each and yours to keep.
