Globally, sepsis is responsible for nearly one in every five deaths, and in Canada, sepsis effects 75,000 individuals per year. Sepsis occurs when an infection results in vital organ damage, and any infection can lead to sepsis. Gaining an understanding of sepsis early in health care education is critical to ensuring the best possible care for patients with sepsis.
At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from health care providers and sepsis researchers working to improve outcomes for children and adults with sepsis in B.C. and worldwide, appreciate the gravity of sepsis through the experience of a survivor, and network with like-minded individuals who are passionate about combatting sepsis.
