Inclusion Criteria
All staff working within study wards delivering care will be involved in the project. Staff participating in focus groups or individual interviews for the process evaluation will be recruited via posters and consented. Each participating ward will be reviewed over 3 randomly selected 24 hour periods during one week at three time points (baseline, 6 and 12 months ) to determine all ward patients in a 24 hour period who have abnormal vital signs (VS). These cohorts of patients will be followed for the duration of their hospital stay and analysed according to ward (intervention or control), irrespective of subsequent ward transfers that may occur.
