Nurses and nursing support workers in every setting play a vital role in improving outcomes for people with sepsis.  In the UK alone, 245,000 people are affected by sepsis with at least 48,000 people dying from sepsis-related illnesses every year – but with early diagnosis, for many it is easily treated.

This webinar provides vital information on the signs and symptoms of sepsis, and nurse experts bring you up to date on the latest guidelines from NICE and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges.

There is advice on spotting a deteriorating patient in hospital and in the community, as well as practical strategies for raising concerns effectively, including information about Martha’s Rule.
