Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation 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,
