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.
This conference will enable you to:
• 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
• Understand Sepsis risk for Covid-19 survivors
• Learn from outstanding practice in reducing mortality from Sepsis
• Improve the way you recognize and respond to the deteriorating patient
• Develop your skills in Sepsis Leadership
• Understand how you can improve antibiotic prescribing for critically ill patients with suspected sepsis
• Ensure you are meeting National Standards in ensuring early diagnosis and effective management of Sepsis
• Identify key strategies for risk stratification
• Develop the role of the sepsis nurse and sepsis champions
• Understand how digital tools and alerts can improve practice
• Update your knowledge on using Root Cause Analysis and Clinical incident reporting in Sepsis cases
• Self assess and reflect on your own practice
