Course Access
The College has recently endorsed the Sepsis Clinical Care Standard. This was initially reviewed by the Practice Guidance Committee.
This is the first national standard of care for sepsis and will be launched on 30 June by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is difficult to recognise. Early action saves lives and reduces the risk of serious complications and death. The after-effects of sepsis extend beyond the acute crisis, posing challenges for coordinated follow-up in hospital and post-discharge.
Join our webcast to hear the experts discuss timely recognition of sepsis, systems to support time-critical management, the ongoing effects of sepsis, and the importance of multidisciplinary, coordinated sepsis care.
The event will be hosted by broadcaster and commentator Julie McCrossin AM on our new webcast platform.
When: Thursday 30 June, 12:00pm – 1:00pm AEST
