Course title: Sepsis Awareness
Date & Time: 08/01/2024 09:30-11:30
Venue: Virtual - Teams 

Data from LeDeR reviews has shown us that there are some common themes involved in the often avoidable deaths of people with a learning disability.

Sepsis is one of the health factors that is not always understood and so contributes to poorer health and, at times, death. Sepsis is a common and potentially life-threatening condition triggered by an infection which causes the body’s immune system to go into overdrive and could result in multi organ failure.

We are offering the opportunity to providers to attend a two-hour training webinar with Training2care on Sepsis awareness. This course is aimed at care assistants and support workers and will increase knowledge and raise awareness in the recognition and management of Sepsis. Content includes:

• Latest statistics
• Definition of Sepsis
• Who is at risk
• Causes of Sepsis
• The physiological effects of Sepsis
• How to recognise a septic patient
• Signs and symptoms of mild, moderate and severe sepsis
• Case study to identify the septic patient
• Treatments for Sepsis

We have 20 places available. Certificates will be issued by training2care for this course. If you would like a place on this training webinar, please email quality.innovation@essex.gov.uk with your full name, email address and provider name. There is a maximum of two places per registered service.
