PHARMACISTS TO BE TRAINED ON HOW TO SPOT SEPSIS

摘要

Pharmacists and care home staff are to be given additional training to spot signs of sepsis, health secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced. The Department of Health will include sepsis training in mandatory first-aid and resuscitation training for pharmacists and care home staff, it has confirmed. It will also publish additional educational materials in an attempt to increase awareness among pharmacists and NHS staff, and a new definition of adult sepsis for clinicians will be produced in the hope that it will be identified and recorded quickly.
