Certificate in Sepsis Awareness

Sepsis is a rare but serious reaction to an infection. Normally our immune system fights infection – but sometimes, for reasons we don’t yet understand, it attacks our body’s own organs and tissues. Sepsis needs to be treated urgently because it can quickly get worse and lead to something called septic shock. Therefore this is an important course for all education settings to be aware of. 

Developed by Samantha Kendall, a highly qualified First Aider, this online sepsis awareness training course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to understand sepsis, and forms of septicaemia, risk factors and how to manage a child with symptoms. 

Please note: This online training course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
