What the Sepsis Awareness course covers

Sepsis Awareness is taught entirely online, so there is nothing to attend and no start date to wait for. The material comes as 7 modules and takes about 1 to 2 hours end to end. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

You do not need a background in clinical care - the first modules build it for you. We list 134 Clinical Care courses, of which 30 sit at Beginner. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

What this course is not: If you already work in clinical care day to day, expect the early material to feel familiar.
