  • Virtual, one-day conference covering a variety of topics in antimicrobial resistance and stewardship

    Description

    Wednesday, April 30, 2025

    According to a 2023 Sepsis Alliance survey, 85% of C-Suite executives in healthcare are concerned that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) may be increasing the potential of another pandemic. Are you ready to fight back?

    Designed to explore cutting-edge solutions for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in healthcare, the 2025 Sepsis Alliance AMR Conference provides a unique opportunity for clinicians, caregivers, patients, and the public to gain practical knowledge from experts and explore innovative approaches for combating AMR.  Collaborative effort across sectors, ongoing innovation, and educational initiatives are essential to manage this intricate clinical interplay and tackle the global AMR threat.

    As AMR intensifies, the risk of infections progressing to sepsis rises, leading to more challenging cases and adverse outcomes like amputations and fatalities.

    We encourage you to attend sessions live, as speakers will be present to answer questions for most sessions. If you cannot attend live, sessions will be available at a later date.

    FREE Nursing CE Credits Offered! 

    Continuing nursing education credits will be available, as will post-event access to resources, ideas, and innovations to improve antimicrobial stewardship. Sepsis Alliance is a Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP17068.

    A multi-part sepsis foundational curriculum designed to establish a strong knowledge of key sepsis concepts for nurses and other healthcare professionals

    Description: 

    Sepsis remains the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals. Rapid recognition and response are critical to improving sepsis survival rates. Research highlights the need for increased sepsis education among healthcare professionals, as targeted training has been shown to enhance recognition accuracy and reduce time to diagnosis across various patient populations. Sepsis Alliance Presents: Sepsis Fundamentals, a multi-part sepsis foundational curriculum designed to establish a strong knowledge of key sepsis concepts for nurses and other healthcare professionals, including sepsis coordinators, is designed to address this gap. This course serves as a foundation for more specialized sepsis training, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes.

    Learning Objectives:

    At the end of the Sepsis Fundamentals course, the learner should be able to:

    • Describe the epidemiology of sepsis, including its prevalence, risk factors, and impact on patient outcomes;
    • Recognize the early signs and symptoms of sepsis across different patient populations using clinical assessment tools;
    • Differentiate sepsis from other conditions by interpreting diagnostic criteria, laboratory findings, and clinical presentations;
    • Implement evidence-based treatment protocols for sepsis management, including fluid resuscitation, antimicrobial therapy, and supportive care;
    • Support patient recovery by identifying post-sepsis syndrome symptoms and recommending appropriate follow-up care and rehabilitation strategies; Evaluate strategies for sepsis quality improvement and patient safety, including protocol adherence, early warning systems, and multidisciplinary teamwork. 

    Target Audience:

    Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.

    Webinar Description: 

    Endotoxin plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of sepsis and often comes from the gut and the idea of neutralizing its detrimental capacities. All Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall made up of endotoxins and can activate the immune system in many ways at low or toxic level. Eight out of 12 of the most dangerous bacteria cited by the World Health Organization to encourage treatment strategies are gram negative species. In addition to delving into early recognition and treatment of sepsis using the bundles, this sponsored session will explore recognition of endotoxin and innovative treatment options.
