How do I reference the NEWS tool in APA (7th ed.) style?
Answer
If you are referring to the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) it was derived from the Royal College of Physicians (2017), and would be referenced as:
Royal College of Physicians. (2017). National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2: Standardising the assessment of acute-illness severity in the NHS. https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/national-early-warning-score-news-2
However please note that if your ward is using an adapted version of NEWS you must say it has been adapted from the Royal College of Physicians (2017).
