In this episode Gemma talks with Ron Daniels, an NHS Consultant in Intensive Care, Executive Director and founder of the UK Sepsis Trust and board member of the Global Sepsis Alliance.
The conversation focuses on a recently-published white paper Ron co-authored as part of the Infection Management Coalition, which, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, makes 29 recommendations to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in order to accelerate the creation of a system which is resilient and mature with regard to outbreak and pandemic preparedness; infection prevention; rapid recognition, diagnosis and treatment of time-critical viral and bacterial infections; and to, ultimately, deliver effective antimicrobial stewardship.
Gemma and Ron also discuss the impact of sepsis on global mortality, the economic impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and the importance of communicating the dangers of AMR to the public.
