Sepsis: Early Recognition and the Pathway of Care

Develop a structured approach to recognising sepsis early and acting on it with confidence. I’ll guide you through the subtle and often overlapping signs of sepsis, how to interpret observations in context, and how to move decisively along the pathway of care from first suspicion to escalation.

This practical, case-based course keeps the focus on the decisions that matter most in the early hours, building on the clinical knowledge you already use every day.

Key learning points

• Recognise the early and evolving signs of sepsis

• Interpret clinical observations and red flags in context

• Distinguish sepsis from presentations that can look similar

• Understand the sepsis pathway from first suspicion to escalation

• Prioritise the first actions and time-critical interventions

• Communicate concerns effectively during escalation and handover

Interactive and grounded in realistic scenarios, this course helps clinicians answer the critical question: “Could this be sepsis, and what do we do now?”
