Spotting the signs of sepsis: a series of short videos

Summary

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s response to an infection causes damage to its own tissues and organs. Early recognition and treatment are vital to save lives.

This series of short videos (each under two minutes), produced by Patient Safety Learning in collaboration with The UK Sepsis Trust, aims to raise awareness of the key signs and symptoms of sepsis.

Featuring Dr Ron Daniels, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of The UK Sepsis Trust and Topic Leader for the hub, these videos outline what to look out for across different age groups.

Videos include:

• Spotting the signs of sepsis in adults and young people (1 minute)
• Spotting the signs of sepsis in school-aged children (90 seconds)
• Spotting the signs of sepsis in children under five years old (2 minutes)
