Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion

Ms Orlaith Staunton:

I will jump in to answer the Deputy's question on community care. It is crucial that sepsis is considered a community problem. We work very closely with the Home Care Association of New York State. We run several webinars with them. They are completely clued into training the people who are going into the homes. They have a list they have to follow when they go in to meet people. We also train others and under the Rory Staunton law, every medical person, pharmacist, dental assistant - you name it - has to do the sepsis training and that makes a big difference.
