Sepsis Summit 2024

Board members of the Irish Sepsis Foundation attended The 8th National Sepsis Summit in Dublin Castle. The National Sepsis Summit theme for this year was "Early Treatment Saves Lives" which is such an important statement for the public and health care professionals.

The aim of the summit was to raise awareness for sepsis in all settings, provide an opportunity to hear about the latest prevention and treatment advancements for sepsis and lead to better management and better patient outcomes for those who develop sepsis.

Healthcare professionals attended this event and our goal was to make ourselves known and explain to people the work we do and why. It's essential for healthcare professionals to know about the Irish Sepsis Foundation so they can inform patients upon discharge about the support we give to sepsis survivors and those who have lost a loved one to sepsis.

Unfortunately, there is a lack of support for this in Ireland, but we are advocating for change.
