This Saturday 13th September is WORLD SEPSIS DAY.
A day to recognise that sepsis remains an ongoing urgent and under recognised health challenge that we face each day.
The commission has highlighted five facts for action in 2025
• In 2022-23, more than 84,000 Australians were hospitalised with sepsis-significantly greater than previous estimates of 55 000cases per year.
• One in seven sepsis cases resulted in death
• Over 50% of Sepsis readmissions occurred in the first 30 days after discharge
• First Nations people are hospitalised for sepsis at double the rate of non -indigenous Australians
• People with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease or cancer face a much greater risk
However, the proportion of sepsis related deaths occurring in emergency departments has declined.

Here at Ringwood the new Sepsis Pathway has been rolled out in the last few weeks here with staff reports and usage of the tool very positive.
We will recognise World Sepsis Day here on Monday 15th September. I would encourage staff to wear pink or purple tops/ scrubs on the day, and we will have some cupcakes as well. I am also planning a couple of small fun events so watch this space.
