The Post Sepsis Care Project

The Post Sepsis Care Project aims to identify and address gaps in post sepsis care services, resources and support available to sepsis patients and their families during their hospitalisation and post-discharge.

Here is what we are doing:

  • Looking at research to understand what's missing in sepsis care after patients go home
  • Undertaking surveys to see what's working well and what could be better in sepsis care
  • Seeking feedback from sepsis survivors and their families through surveys and focus groups
  • Based on all this information, we'll identify ways to enhance post sepsis care.

Benefits:

  • Gain a better understanding of the needs of patients and their families after sepsis
  • Create new resources and guidelines for healthcare providers
  • Achieve better health outcomes through early intervention and comprehensive aftercare
  • Increase awareness about the importance of post-sepsis care among healthcare providers
  • To improve the journey for patients (and their families) who have had sepsis.

Post Sepsis Care Consumer Survey

This survey aims to connect with Queensland residents who have survived sepsis to help understand their experiences.

If you are over the age of 18 and have received treatment for sepsis in a Queensland Health hospital, you are invited to participate. The survey will be open until 13 December 2023. To participate, you can access the survey.

We have also prepared a Participant Information Sheet (PDF, 150kB) that outlines the purpose of the survey and how the gathered information will be used. Participation is voluntary, and you are under no obligation to complete the survey.
