Sepsis: training and education

• Sepsis in children: advice for health visitors and school nurses: This PHE document sets out what public health nurses, health visitors and school nurses need to know about sepsis and the advice to give to parents.
• THINK SEPSIS is a NHSE e-learning sepsis awareness programme programme aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of those with sepsis.
• Sepsis-Blood Culture Pathway Improvement is a suite of e-learning modules aimed at patient-facing staff, laboratory staff, neonatal/paediatric staff, consultant microbiologists and members of multidisciplinary teams involved in diagnosing sepsis. These have been developed in collaboration with the British Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy and NHS England.
• NHS England’s report into blood culture practices outlines key improvement steps in the pre-analytical phase of the blood culture pathway. Through targeted recommendations to trust chief executives, clinical and pathology staff, we have an opportunity to improve the blood culture pathway, antimicrobial stewardship and patient outcomes from sepsis.
