This conference focuses on ensuring early diagnosis and effective management of Sepsis, and improving outcomes through effective after care following sepsis infection.

5 people die with sepsis every hour in the UK.

Managing the timely and accurate diagnosis of infections presents substantial challenges for the NHS, with approximately 130,000 patient blood stream infection episodes in England per year, with an acute trust having approximately 870 episodes per year on average.

Remember that sepsis represents the severe, life-threatening end of infection. The key to improving outcomes is early recognition and prompt treatment, as appropriate, of patients with suspected or confirmed infection who are deteriorating and at risk of organ dysfunction. By the time the diagnosis becomes obvious, with multiple abnormal physiological parameters, risk of mortality is very high. Your clinical judgement is crucial to how you approach the individual patient.

Delegate Feedback

"I really enjoyed today. Very well organised and very interactive! Well done to everyone who has organised and spoke today. "

"Very knowledgeable speakers who are clearly passionate about sepsis."

"Skilled people able to explain the problem and how do they work really well."

"Extremely informative and the experiences and knowledge of those involved is of such a high standard, those who want to know more on sepsis and any research around it would benefit from this session."

"This was the first virtual event I have taken part in and I was very impressed with the whole process! It was very easy to navigate and join the event, even for me considering I don’t generally use Teams/Zoom etc. I found all the presentations and speakers very informative, and although I’m not based in the hospital environment (111 telephone triage), it was still relevant and interesting for me. There were lots of things I made notes on that I’m going to look into in my own time. This event was a really good refresher on the sepsis basics but I was also presented with lots of new information that I feel will improve the quality of care I give to my patients."
