Detailed Programme Information
RESTORE2: Recognise Early Soft-signs, Take Observations, Respond
The British Geriatric Society and Care Quality Commission recommend using RESTORE2 to take vital signs measurements and recognise deterioration in residents.
South West AHSN is supporting training for care home staff in the use of RESTORE2 and RESTORE2 mini.
RESTORE2 mini is a ‘soft signs’ only version of the tool for use in settings where it is not possible to make clinical observations.
RESTORE2 was originally developed and co-produced by the NHS West Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group and is now part of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System and Wessex Academic Health Science Network. For free training resources for care home and domiciliary care workers in using RESTORE2 and recognising deterioration please visit the Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG here.

- Established online programme for accessible and available 24/7 RESTORE2mini training.
