Welcome to the Scottish Borders
Borders General Hospital (BGH) is situated on the outskirts of Melrose. The Borders covers a large and scenically beautiful area of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Predominantly rural, it is historically a unique part of the country, the home of the Border Reivers, where annually each town in the region maintains its links with the past during the season of Common Ridings.
Seven-a-side rugby originated in Melrose and the Melrose event in particular draws large crowds each year. There are also facilities for fishing, golf, swimming, horse riding, mountain bike riding, cricket, football, hiking and many other activities in addition to cultural activities with music and art societies, drama and small theatres in Melrose and Selkirk.
The Scottish Borders offers all the benefits of rural life with easy access to the major cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. All of this makes the Scottish Borders an enjoyable place to live and work.
With a population of around 113,000 the Borders is thriving. The local economy benefits from an active textiles industry and sustainable farming. At the heart of this community is the people and Borderers take great pride in not only their historical, but also more recent achievements such as Olympic, Grand National and World Rugby success. They also enjoy the many events and activities on offer across the region which covers a huge geographical area. It is this diverse rural community which NHS Borders is proud to serve.

Ronnie DornanClinical Lead, Critical Care Outreach Team
The Critical Care Outreach Service was set up in 2001 to improve the early recognition, management and treatment of the deteriorating patient within the Borders General Hospital. This required a change to the structures and processes within the current system.
An early warning trigger chart was developed, introduced and supported by an intensive ongoing education programme for clinical staff. Abnormal observations are highlighted in yellow boxes and two yellow boxes triggers a referral to the outreach team who attend, assess and examine the patient. Of all patients referred, 90% are managed on the ward by the Outreach Team and ward staff.

Hazel Prentice Clinical Nurse Specialist, Critical Care Outreach Team
A nurse would take the observations and then enter these at the top of the early warning chart as is standard practice. The recordings are then transposed into the grid further down the chart and if 2 yellow boxes are hit, the nurse would contact the Critical Care Outreach Team. If there is a suspicion of infection, the sepsis 6 is triggered and there is a prompt at the bottom of the chart.

Jenny Morrison Clinical Nurse Specialist, Critical Care Outreach Team
The Critical Care Outreach Team have developed a high dependency skills course which is run throughout the hospital. This is open for all staff to attend. It is multidisciplinary taught and multidisciplinary attended. This helps us to achieve hospital wide awareness of the importance of early recognition.
Gill PalmerStaff Nurse, Emergency Department
The Critical Care Outreach Team come down to the Emergency Department to assist with the care of our critically ill patient. We see many patients who are critically unwell and the role of the Emergency Department is to recognise the sick and deteriorating patient and to highlight them to the Critical Care Outreach Team as soon as possible. The team provide their expertise in a timely fashion and this ensures that timely treatment is given where appropriate. It gives good continuity of care for patients and their families when patients are transferred from the Emergency Department to the ward.

Nigel LearyConsultant Anaesthetist, Head of Service - Planned Care
Since 2001, annual audit has shown an increase in referrals of Critical Care Outreach patients by the Outreach Team to Critical Care Services but 90% of referrals can be managed by the Outreach Team on the wards. This is a result of the lead time enabled through the early warning trigger system. Of the patients that are admitted to Intensive Care, it has been shown that they are admitted with far less organ system derangement so that only 1 system is in jeopardy rather than 2 or 3 and this has resulted in a lower level of intervention being required, and for patients this means a lower length of stay in Intensive Care and outcomes are much improved. The latest Scottish mortality ratios have indicated that over 50% of the patients who are predicted to die survive to be discharged from hospital.Scan the picture with the free ‘Borders College

Simon WatkinConsultant Physician, Head of Service – Medicine & Long Term Conditions
Critical Outreach means that if any of my patients are showing significant signs of deterioration, through using the early warning system there is a reliable way of being identified, assessed and treated by the expert team of Nurses within the Outreach Team. Following a contact being made, an Outreach Nurse will arrive promptly and will be able to make an expert assessment of the patient. By doing that, they may be able to prevent further deterioration of the patient and this will also probably reduce the chance of them needing to be admitted to Intensive Care. For those that need Intensive Care the Nurses will be able to arrange for transfer quickly.
It is also likely that the patient’s length of stay will be shorter, their chance of dying will be reduced and risk of further complications will also be reduced by keeping a patient on a general ward whenever possible.
Critical Care Outreach is a way of putting into practice all the recommendations that have come from studying unnecessary mortality and morbidity in hospital patients, the ability to rapidly assess people who are deteriorating and the ability to stabilise them as quickly as possible and if necessary transfer them to an intensive care setting. If I was a patient I would be very pleased to see the Critical Care Outreach Team coming to see me if I knew that my condition was getting worse. For me, it’s about the right person being in the right place at the right time.

Ed JamesConsultant Microbiologist
Sepsis 6 is a series of 6 actions which should be performed within 1 hour of a patient developing sepsis. In this context, sepsis is defined as a patient with 2 or more markers of systemic inflammatory response and a clinical suspicion that infection is driving the process.
The 6 actions are:
• administer high flow oxygen• administer intravenous fluids• take a sample for blood culture• administer appropriate intravenous anti-
biotics• take a sample for blood lactate• commence urine output measurement.
In NHS Borders ensuring these actions are completed within the hour is facilitated through the Critical Care Outreach Team.

We have the lowest length of stay in Scotland. We believe that early recognition and rescue of critically ill patients allows a rapid reversal of organ dysfunction

Our unit is a mixed medical and surgical elective and emergency combined high

illustrate some of the sucesses that we have had in critical care in the Borders.Some of these successes can be attributed to the input from the critical care
outreach team and its systems as well as the excellent work from the team in
intensive care.

Patient Testimonials
“Throughout the critical stages of my illness they answered questions and put me at ease”
“With the advice I was given by the Critical Care Team I felt confident to go home to recover and to prepare myself for my operation seven weeks later”
“The term Critical Care Outreach was unfamiliar to me but the reality of the care we received at BGH Melrose made a huge difference to our overall experience”“Although our son did not need to be
transferred to ITU we knew that he was being monitored very closely”“
”
“My pain level was managed effectively and every member of staff I encountered treated me with real empathy and respect”
“We may not have been aware of what the Critical Care Outreach programme involved, but the impact of this innovative programme was absolutely vital to us. It is the little things that can make all the difference to patients and close family which is why the structured approach to CCO works so well”
