With sepsis remaining at the forefront, in both the press and health conversations, changes to policy and guidelines are frequent. The challenge of ensuring staff remain up-to-date with these changes has been immense. However, the organisations that have adopted The UK Sepsis Trust’s e-Learning have benefitted from the modules being regularly updated by the charity’s Lead Support Nurse, Oliver Jones, and verified by its Founder and Executive Clinical Director, Dr Ron Daniels. This has been helpful to organisations who adopted the AOMRC recommendations prior to the changes to the NICE guidelines for sepsis in January this year, as the modules offered both pathways. Now that the NICE guidelines have been republished, the e-Learning has been adapted to reflect the changes with a single NICE pathway. The exception is the paediatric module, which also has a National PEWS pathway for those organisations who have already adopted the new scoring system.
Moving forward, escalla continues to work with The UK Sepsis Trust to increase awareness across health organisations, the public sector, and the general public with a new clinical module, Sepsis in Maternity, in development and further initiatives relating to Sepsis Awareness for Parents and Sepsis Awareness in Schools.
