NHS England has launched several training programmes aimed at improving the diagnosis and early management of sepsis. These programmes are regularly reviewed and revised with support from subject matter experts as updated national sepsis guidance is implemented.Local National Health Service trusts may choose to run local public awareness campaigns on sepsis.
