Sepsis Awareness
Sepsis is a serious and potentially life‑threatening response to infection. Our clinicians are trained to recognise early signs of sepsis and act quickly.

We also support patients and carers with guidance on early warning signs and when to seek help. Our practice participates in training and safety processes to ensure a rapid response to possible sepsis.
