Dear Colleagues,

NICE has updated its adult sepsis guidance. The previous NG51 guideline has now been replaced for adults by NG253: Suspected sepsis in people aged 16 and over – recognition, assessment and early management.

Key updates include:

Revised risk stratification criteria

Updated recommendations on IV fluid management and vasopressor use

Strengthened antimicrobial stewardship principles

Improved guidance for patients with communication needs and in mental health settings

Our Trust adult sepsis pathway and supporting documentation have been updated in line with NG253 and are now available to print from Q-PULSE on the intranet [https://qpulse.medway.nhs.uk/QPulseDocumentServiceCorporateLive/Documents.svc/documents/active/attachment?number=THAN-FOR-41].

From 25 February, the updated Sepsis Toolkits and Sepsis 6 bundles (attached) will be available within EPR, replacing previous versions currently in use.

Further communications, including additional guidance and supporting information, will be shared in the coming week.

All clinical teams are asked to familiarise themselves with the revised pathway and ensure local practice reflects these changes.

Q-Pulse remains our official source for accessing the latest Trust policies and guidelines. However, we recognise this isn't always accessible at the point of need, which is why we're making local guidelines available through BMJ Best Practice for clinical staff, alongside its comprehensive national guidance and evidence base. Key benefits include:

Available as an app or webpage.

Can be accessed using your NHS OpenAthens login.

Guidelines are updated live - when we update a guideline, you immediately have access to the latest version.

No need to download or save documents locally.

Contains national clinical guidelines and evidence-based information on a wide range of conditions.

To set up NHS OpenAthens access or for questions about BMJ Best Practice, contact the Library team, trust.library@nhs.net or visit the Library Team in the Education Centre.

Whether you are visiting this page because you or a loved one is in critical care, or you are just browsing, we hope you find the information helps to answer many of your questions and relieve some of the anxiety you may be feeling during this worrying and difficult time.

Our critical care department consists of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a General High Dependency Unit (GHDU) and an Enhanced Care Unit (ECU) which is split across three separate units.

ICU is a nine-bedded unit and our HDU is a 10-bedded unit. Together the units treat approximately 1,300 patients a year with a variety of medical and surgical conditions.

ECU is an intermediate level of care for elective post-operative patients, where a higher level of observation, monitoring and interventions can be provided than on a general ward. Following a clinical assessment at the pre-assessment clinic prior to attending hospital, the anaesthetist will decide which patients would benefit from an enhanced level of care after surgery.

The critical care units are run by an experienced group of anaesthetic consultants, doctors, Advanced Critical Care Practitioners (ACCPs), nurses, therapists, clinical and non-clinical support staff.

Health literacy and patient information

Did you know that 43% of adults aged 16-65 struggle with text-based health information and that increases to 61% if the information also includes numbers?

If you want to know more, take this 30 minute e-learning course which includes simple tools that can help increase understanding.

We have also co-produced two easy read guides to download and share designed to help people to navigate healthcare. 'Get ready to talk about your health' prepares people for what to do before they go for a consultation with any health or care provider. ' 3 questions for better health' suggests important questions to ask during an appointment.

To help you, your patients and their families and carers with general health and wellbeing we have collected books and online links - take a look at our Uplifting Resources and Your Health Collection.

Learning from 'know how'

Some knowledge is not published but is individual or organisational 'know how'. The NHS Knowledge Mobilisation Framework is designed to help you develop and use skills to mobilise knowledge effectively to help sharing and learning.

What else can I expect from my library?

Your local NHS knowledge and library service can help you to make the most of these resources. They will often offer additional services including carrying out evidence searches and helping you to keep up-to-date. Visit your library for space to study, work and connect with your peers and the evidence.
