Lunchtime Learning – Sepsis Awareness

Overview

The aim of this course is to understand what sepsis is, recognise early warning signs of sepsis developing and know what to do promptly. To understand how to prevent localised infections developing into systemic life-threatening sepsis. Sepsis affects 245,000 people in the UK every year, 20% of whom will die as a result of sepsis. Sepsis kills more people every year than breast cancer, bowel cancer and prostate cancer combined, yet many people do not know how to recognise early signs of it or what to do when it is spotted. This short course will empower anyone who works with children or adults to better understand sepsis and explain how they could to save a life by acting quickly.
