Monklands Hospital Raises Sepsis Awareness

Lodged by John Wilson Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates everyone at Monklands Hospital on what it considers its success in raising awareness of the condition, sepsis, on World Sepsis Day; understands that, every year, sepsis claims over 37,000 lives in the UK but that this can be greatly reduced by using the Sepsis Six bundle, which has now been adopted at Monklands Hospital; understands that events on the day saw staff at the hospital raising awareness of sepsis treatment, and hopes that this will contribute to a significant reduction in sepsis-related deaths.
