Have NICE and GP's recognise Post Sepsis Syndrome
Many Sepsis survivors in the UK and globally suffer a condition called Post Sepsis Syndrome, although most hospital clinicians recognise the illness many GP's just dismiss it and tens of thousands of Sepsis survivors are left with no support or even a recognised discharge pathway. It needs to change
In the UK alone 48,000 people die of Sepsis each year, 60,000 people leave hospital with permanent life changing conditions including amputation. Sepsis costs the NHS and the public purse 16 billion per year. This is an illness that is completely preventable if recognised early and something as easy as IV antibiotics can prevent septic shock. The government need to make sepsis awareness a priority for the whole population, run TV campaigns etc. PSS is physiologically identical to long covid.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is an independent public health agency, which is responsible for its own views and advice. The NHS recognises long-term effects of sepsis, but clinical decisions for individual patients are a matter for individual GPs, not the Government or House of Commons. You can read the NHS's information about post-sepsis syndrome here: www.nhs.uk/conditions/sepsis/treatment-and-recovery/
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review care for people suffering from post-sepsis syndrome, if that's something you would like to happen.
