Committee on Public Petitions
Public Petition on Lil Reds Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign: Mr. Joseph Hughes and Irish Sepsis Foundation
Mr. Joseph Hughes:
We are told that sepsis is a six bundle and that there are implementation checklists for the staff as soon as someone has sepsis. I know for a fact that in England the NHS has an app on its tablet where the patient’s temperature and vital signs, such as blood pressure, are recorded. This information will tally up and give the service the possibility to note if there is a high risk of sepsis with a "Yes" or "No", a high or a low recording.
There is nobody who could not do with a little bit more learning about sepsis.
