Sepsis in community-based care

Learn how to quickly identify sepsis symptoms to allow faster treatment and better outcomes.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to infection causes widespread inflammation, leading to organ dysfunction. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to improving patient outcomes. Sepsis progresses rapidly and can lead to septic shock, organ failure, and death if not treated promptly. Studies show that each hour of delay in treatment increases mortality risk. Early detection allows for timely intervention, reducing complications and improving survival rates.

This programme includes sessions aimed at healthcare professionals as well as anyone working with patients in community-based settings. The elearning content is based on the latest UK’s National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance on recognising and responding to suspected sepsis in adults, children and young people, and people with a learning disability.
