Clinical Observations - Online Learning Courses - E-Learning Courses - LearnPac Systems UK -

Welcome to our online Clinical Observations training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).

Patient clinical observations are sometimes referred to as “vital signs”; “patient observations” or just “Obs”. Clinical observations are physiological markers that help medical, nursing and other clinical staff to closely monitor patients, identify those patients that are deteriorating and escalate to senior staff so that appropriate interventions are commenced to stop the patient deteriorating further.

In this comprehensive online Clinical Observations training course, you will understand why, when and how observations are taken, the normal ranges for each clinical observation/vital sign and how to record as well as the action to be considered when you find observations outside of the normal ranges, including:

  • Understand the anatomy and physiology that relates to clinical observations,
  • Learn about normal and abnormal clinical observations/vital signs,
  • Understand the clinical significance of anomalous vital sign readings, and
  • Perform a range of clinical observations, including:
    • Pulse,
    • Blood pressure,
    • Temperature,
    • Respiratory rate,
    • Oxygen saturation, and
    • Blood glucose measurements.
