Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency affecting 55,000 Australians each year and causing over 8,700 deaths.
Early recognition and timely intervention are critical, but recognising and responding to sepsis in primary care can be challenging.
The Commission, in partnership with The George Institute for Global Health, Sepsis Australia and Medcast has developed an online education module for primary health professionals.
This free one hour, CPD approved course features three interactive case studies and three downloadable clinical resources to support primary health professionals recognise and respond to sepsis and post sepsis syndrome. Watch this 1-minute video to find out more:
A live webinar, hosted by Medcast on 18 June 2025 at 7pm AEST will reinforce the important role of primary care in recognising sepsis early, beginning time critical lifesaving treatments and providing support after sepsis. The webinar will include personal stories from sepsis survivors and people bereaved by sepsis.
