Presentation outline HEE s role in educating the workforce National drivers Sepsis the facts HEE sepsis scoping work Available educational materials Future initiatives
What does HEE do? Health Education England (HEE) exists to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and public of England by ensuring that the workforce of today and tomorrow has the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and in the right place.
HEE Mandate Take steps to ensure that training is also available so that healthcare staff are competent in the recognition of, and response to, acute illness such as sepsis as a key factor in preventable mortality. Build on work started in 2015, including making available, by August 2016, a specific training module for sepsis. HEE will also make recommendations on any new materials identified as necessary from wider scoping work.
Sepsis national drivers
Sepsis national drivers
Sepsis the facts 37,000 deaths in the UK per year 35% mortality risk 1 in 3 ICU admissions 1 in 7 deaths in hospital Cost to the NHS in England: 2.5bn/year 70% of sepsis cases develop in the community
Quiz If you, or a loved one, has a flu-like illness, diarrhoea and vomiting or a chesty cough, which of the following symptoms should alert you to sepsis? 1. Slurred speech or delirium 2. Severe breathlessness 3. Skin that is mottled or discoloured 4. Anyone of the above
Scoping work Highlights numerous examples of good practice in relation to sepsis education and training. It also identifies clear gaps in the provision of sepsis education and training, particularly for healthcare staff working in community and primary care settings, management and executive staff within healthcare providers, and staff in permanent and nontraining roles.

Paediatrics: THINK SEPSIS This film explores the key points to consider in diagnosing and managing sepsis and refers to a patient story, presented by the parents of Maude Watkins who died of sepsis aged three. The film is an entry point to resources that all paediatricians and GPs are recommended to look at relating to sepsis in children https://youtu.be/vxmuvcu6cdi http://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/sepsis
