SEPSIS

Action on Sepsis is a transdisciplinary group tackling the complex issue of sepsis prevention, diagnosis, management, and long-term care across the human lifespan... We bring together clinicians, researchers, public end users, health care policymakers, and global health organizations to engage in impactful, community-led research, create and commercialize innovative diagnostics and therapeutics, and increase the visibility of sepsis as a critical local and global health issue... Our long-term goal is to reduce the burden of sepsis, provincially, nationally, and internationally. We aim to develop and implement large-scale sepsis studies that transcend traditional silos and address medical, behavioural, and social issues impacting outcomes from sepsis and post-sepsis syndrome. We apply lessons learned from BC and share them in a collaborative exchange with others worldwide, while applying lessons learned abroad to address health inequities that exist within Canada.
