Follow the conference on Twitter #NHSSepsis
This conference focuses on ensuring early diagnosis and effective management of Sepsis with a particular focus on patients with Covid-19 and raising awareness of the risks of Sepsis in Covid-19 survivors.
245,000 people are affected by sepsis in the UK with at least 48,000 people losing their lives every year........The UK Sepsis Trust (UKST) estimates that close to 100,000 people are going to be discharged from hospital having had COVID-19 and, of these, 20% are likely to develop sepsis within the first 12 months
We urgently need all health professionals, as well as the general public, to be aware of the signs of sepsis and subsequently avoid adding to the magnitude of this pandemic. Failing to do so will apply even greater pressure on the NHS as they face traditional winter pressures and potentially a second wave of COVID-19.

- Network with colleagues who are working to improve practice in the recognition and management of Sepsis
- Reflect on the lived experience of a Sepsis Survivor
