A unique group of Critical Care Outreach nurse specialists at Borders General Hospital had their pioneering work to improve patient care recognised – with a starring slot on prime time Danish TV.

The nurse specialists welcomed a team from Denmark’s equivalent of BBC Six O’Clock News who wanted to study their model of the early recognition management and treatment of patients at risk of deterioration in hospital.

The TV news report was broadcast to millions in Denmark, sparking major debate in the country to encourage greater awareness of the need to follow the success of The Scottish Patient Safety Programme in improving patient care.
