This September, Sepsis Alliance is proudly hosting its Sepsis Alliance Summit. Set to coincide with Sepsis Awareness Month, the event will feature two days of learning and inspiration for healthcare professionals across the continuum of care, including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, allied health professionals, data/quality/safety/IT professionals, students, leadership, policy makers, and industry leaders.
Designed to explore an array of sepsis-related topics in healthcare, the Sepsis Alliance Summit will include expert presentations from clinicians, innovation experts, and other influential leaders. Join the sessions that are relevant to your practice and interests, and increase your sepsis knowledge and skills. We encourage you to attend sessions live, as speakers will be present to answer questions and share knowledge for most sessions. If you are unable to attend live, sessions will be prerecorded and available at a later time.
Continuing nursing education credits will be available, as will post-event access to resources, ideas, and innovations to improve sepsis care. Sepsis Alliance is a Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP17068 for 9.0 contact hours.
Other healthcare providers will receive a certificate of attendance. Sepsis Alliance is proud to offer the Sepsis Summit at no charge to participants. Please consider making a donation to help Sepsis Alliance continue to educate thousands of healthcare professionals and members of the public every year.
