The pRRAPID eBook (Paediatric Recognising and Responding to Acute Patient Illness and Deterioration) has been developed as a learning tool to assist medical students, junior doctors and all other healthcare professionals in recognising and responding to the acutely ill child. pRRAPID does not cover how to manage trauma to children. The pRRAPID assessment of the acutely ill child revolves around the traditional ABCDE system based approach. The pRRAPID ebook is used in a blended learning approach to teaching the pRRAPID programme at the University of Leeds.
