Surviving Sepsis

Course Duration: One day

CPD Hours: 7 Hours

Time: 08:45-17:00

Sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity and a large consumer of resources in the NHS.

This inter-professional simulation-based training course combines workshops and immersive clinical scenarios facilitated by simulation experts. It addresses the early recognition and management of sepsis with a focus on the new sepsis definitions (Sepsis -3) utilising “The Sepsis Six” – an evidence-based intervention shown to improve the outcomes of patients with sepsis through early goal-directed therapy and the exploration of human factors in healthcare.

Delegates will have the opportunity to practise, in a safe learning environment, the skills needed to recognise, assess and care for patients with sepsis with a view to improving patient safety.

Aims:

To provide a framework for reviewing your working environment and its effect on the patient experience and their safety in relation to Human Factors
To increase knowledge base of the recognition and management of sepsis
To understand the principles and practice of the “Sepsis 6”

Learning Outcomes:
After completing this course attendees will be able to:
