The package provides a standardised, nationally consistent approach to the early recognition and management of sepsis across hospital, primary and community care settings.
The presentation will explore current evidence, clinical warning signs, escalation pathways, and practical guidance on using the sepsis tools in everyday practice. It will also focus on supporting whanau through safe, effective and equitable care.
