Sepsis Survival - from recgnition to recovery & beyond | World Sepsis Day 2025

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that demands rapid recognition and intervention to prevent organ failure and death. Yet, the impact of sepsis often extends far beyond the initial illness and influences the patient and their family.

On World Sepsis Day we can take the time to reflect on the importance of prompt recognition, evidenced based care and optimising recovery. We all have a role to play in improving the outcomes for patients with sepsis. 

Medcast's Head of Clinical Education, and Fellow with the Global Sepsis Alliance, Susie Helmrich, brings her passion and experience to deliver an engaging webinar discussing the challenges of delayed recognition, optimising organ support in the ED & ICU, supporting recovery and managing long term survival including post-sepsis syndrome. Using a case based approach with interactive polls, you will have the opportunity to explore your own knowledge and fill in some gaps in practice. Whether you work in pre-hospital, ED, ICU or the ward, you’ll gain practical strategies to improve survival, enhance recovery, and support sepsis survivors.

Sepsis affects around 55,000 Australians every year and causes more than 8,700 deaths. Survivors often face a long and difficult road beyond hospital discharge, with lasting physical, cognitive, and emotional impacts. Families, too, live through the trauma — from the fear of delayed recognition to the challenges of recovery and post sepsis syndrome.

On World Sepsis Day, we unite globally to improve survival and quality of life for those affected. As a Fellow with the Global Sepsis Alliance, Medcast Head of Clinical Education Susie Helmrich will lead this engaging, case-based webinar exploring:

• The consequences of delayed recognition in pre-hospital, ED, and ward settings

• Optimising organ support in ED and ICU to improve outcomes

• Supporting survivors and their families through recovery

• Recognising and managing post sepsis syndrome in the acute and post-discharge phases
  
  

Through clinical case studies and interactive polls, you’ll test your own knowledge, challenge assumptions, and identify practical strategies you can apply immediately in your own setting.

Join us this World Sepsis Day and be part of the global movement to save lives, support survivors, and strengthen family-centred care.
