DENTAL SERVICES - Sepsis Trust

DENTAL SERVICES TOOLS

On 12th May 2022, the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges issued new guidance for the UK on the recognition and management of sepsis, with particular emphasis of the timing of antimicrobial therapy with view to minimising the impact on AMR. Our new clinical tools, listed below, include tools which reflect this guidance for clinical areas using NEWS2 or the national paediatric early warning score (PEWS).

Together with our additional resources and series of e-Learning modules we can work towards a standard approach to spotting and managing sepsis – saving thousands more lives a year in the UK alone.
