In the previous session, we spoke about which medical professionals would benefit from training in sepsis. I notice that in other jurisdictions, there is a possibility for sepsis certification as part of postgraduate education for pharmacists. If a small child presents with flu-like symptoms, a pharmacist would be able to say that it is not flu and the child should be brought to the emergency department immediately. Are we doing this or looking at it in Ireland?
