The recognition and initial response of clinical teams to patients who suffer a deterioration in their condition is an essential capability of healthcare institutions. Simulation can provide some of this training, but creating appropriate ‘cues’ for recognising unwell patients can be challenging. We aimed to investigate how medical students recognise whether a patient is ‘sick’, and what they do in response to that recognition, using scenarios of clinically deteriorating simulated patients.
