Sepsis: improving recognition and management 2015

Sepsis is a significant cause of death and disability in the UK. According to the UK Sepsis Trust, 37,000 people are estimated to die of sepsis each year. Current evidence-based guidelines emphasise the need for good initial assessment and immediate treatment, but in busy hospital departments, these protocols are not always followed.

Sepsis: improving recognition and management is a CPD certified one day conference that will examine the challenges of identifying those at risk and provide practical advice on immediate management. It will be useful for all specialists involved in acute, emergency and critical care to update their knowledge and skills.

The conference will also cover the new government measures to combat sepsis in a key note talk given by Dr Ron Daniels.
