In the tenth episode of Sepsis Voices with Dr Ron, UKST’s Founder & Joint CEO Dr Ron Daniels welcomes Rob Behrens, Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, and Chair of the organisation, to share his thoughts on the evolving landscape of sepsis care.

As Rob approaches the end of his tenure, they reflect on the changes since the Ombudsman's groundbreaking sepsis report, 'A Time to Act,' in 2013.

They discuss improvements in sepsis detection, management, and patient outcomes over the past decade, as well as key takeaways from the Ombudsman's latest report, 'Spotlight on sepsis: your stories, your rights.'

The pair also cover:  

  • Healthcare providers' responses to Ombudsman recommendations and barriers hindering implementation.
  • Insights on driving systemic change and promoting patient safety during Rob's tenure.
  • Recent updates to NICE sepsis guidelines and their significance for healthcare professionals.
  • Necessary changes within the NHS and recommendations for sustained improvement in sepsis identification and treatment protocols.
  • Addressing the balance between urgent treatment and antimicrobial stewardship in sepsis cases.
  • The role of public awareness and education in improving sepsis outcomes.
  • Rob’s advice for his successor
