Sepsis; Antibiotic Administration
Dear United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust,
As part of your trusts clinical response to emergency department sepsis presentations; could you clarify whether antibiotics are administered under Patient group directives (PGD) or prescription only?
Could you also please provide me a copy of your emergency department Sepsis proforma/flowchart/toolkit.
Yours faithfully,
Jordan Gillard
ULHT currently responds to Sepsis presentations via the use of both
prescription and PGD antibiotics.
Our protocol for Sepsis is currently being rewritten to make it a separate
and individual document. Presently its location sees it included in the
Observation Policy. All of our screening tools are electronic and
triggered when adult inpatients NEWS ™ 5.
I have attached our flow chart for reminding staff when to screen but due
to the nature of our tools and the fact the policy is in process, I cannot
attach either of those.
I hope this is helpful?
Please contact me if further information is needed.
