Any infection can lead to Sepsis. It can develop rapidly and become life-threatening – early recognition and action are critical. Timed to lead into World Sepsis Day, this webinar focuses on recognising and responding to sepsis in everyday healthcare settings. It features a powerful account from Geoff, a farmer and sepsis survivor, who will share his personal experience of illness, hospitalisation, and recovery. Following this, the Sepsis Trust’s co-founder, Dr Paul Huggan, an infectious disease and acute medicine physician, will present the latest evidence on sepsis, red flag symptoms, practical assessment tools, and culturally responsive approaches to care. Paul will also be sharing details of the brand new HQSC sepsis quality improvement package – hot off the press launching the day of this webinar!
