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.
Are you ready to learn with us? Register today for this free, virtual conference. You’ll earn RN CE credits and improve your practice, benefiting sepsis patients.
