Sepsis is a complex syndrome and can be
difficult to define, diagnose and treat. It is a major cause of
death, killing approximately 1,400 people worldwide per
day.
The RBHSSC is based on the international
Surviving Sepsis Campaign and forms part of the Trust’s Patient
Safety initiative. Our aim is to:
- raise awareness, understanding and improve
knowledge of all healthcare professionals, patients, relatives and
carers
- develop tools for early identification and
appropriate management of patients with sepsis / severe sepsis
across the Trust.
