Description

Join us in this comprehensive video guide as we dive deep into the critical topic of sepsis, a life-threatening condition resulting from the body's extreme response to an infection. Sepsis is a global health crisis, affecting millions of people around the world every year, yet it remains poorly understood by the general public.

In this informative and engaging video, we unravel the complexities of sepsis, covering its causes, the science behind its development, and why it can be so dangerous if not recognised early and treated promptly. Through expert interviews, patient stories, and clear explanations, we'll explore:

  • What sepsis is and the different stages of its progression, including sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock.

  • The common infections that can lead to sepsis and the signs and symptoms to watch out for.

  • The importance of rapid diagnosis and the latest treatment options available.

  • Preventative measures to reduce the risk of sepsis and the importance of vaccination and proper hygiene.

  • Real-life experiences from survivors and healthcare professionals on the front lines of sepsis management.

Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to update your knowledge on sepsis, a student in the medical field, or someone interested in understanding more about this critical condition, this video offers valuable insights and information.

Remember, sepsis is a medical emergency, and early recognition and treatment can save lives. Watch, learn, and share this video to spread awareness about sepsis and its impact on global health.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
