Dr. Michael O'Dwyer:

It is largely built in to the curriculum. We wrote to all the universities at the start of last year offering our services to come to give specific teaching around sepsis. I did not get responses from the universities, which led me to believe that they are happy that what they have on their curriculums is sufficient. The matter is front and centre when it comes to the junior doctor's job. The role of the latter in hospitals is to be familiar with it. The programme has spent a great deal of time and effort getting sepsis-specific education tools for junior doctors and nurses online. The hospitals have agreed that it would be a mandatory requirement that they complete the relevant module during their training and time in hospitals.
