Useful Sepsis Resources

It was World Sepsis Day on Tuesday 13^th September so there has been a lot of awareness-raising and promotion around sepsis in our Trust. We put together a list of useful resources around sepsis earlier in the year and thought it would be worth sharing these in case anyone else finds them useful.
