Sepsis Team Nurse Practitioner, Angela Windsor, said: “Our goal within the Sepsis Team is to support clinical teams in working together, respectfully listening to each other and utilising the standardised Sepsis pathway alongside proactive antimicrobial stewardship to positively improve the outcomes for those with Sepsis.” Although World Sepsis Day is now over, the team is encouraging all clinical colleagues Staff Nurse Jess to visit the Davies taking part in Sepsis World Sepsis Day. intranet pages as there are many informative resources there to add to existing knowledge around Sepsis.
