Red flags, amber warnings: A unified HealthPathway for suspected sepsis
Speaker
Session Date:
Paul Huggan emphasizes the urgency of early sepsis recognition.
He highlights that timely diagnosis and intervention are critical, and that many presentations with suspected sepsis present to primary and urgent care settings.
Red (Critical) and Amber (Warning) Flags help decision-making and promote clear communication within and across acute services. These Flags are embedded in the new national sepsis HealthPathway for primary and urgent care.
This session explores the background to guideline development and provides examples of how new sepsis recognition and action tools will save lives.
