On Tuesday 14th July, NHS England (NHSE) and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published the Modern Service Framework (MSF) for Sepsis, outlining a ten-year vision to transform sepsis care by 2035.
The MSF aims to reduce deaths, life-changing complications, and the long-term impact of sepsis for everyone by at least 25% over the next decade. This will be achieved through better prevention, earlier diagnosis, improved treatment, rehabilitation, research, and innovation.
The ambition is simple but powerful: to make sure every person with sepsis receives the best possible care the NHS can offer, whenever and wherever they need it.
What is included in the Sepsis MSF?
The MSF proposes six priorities; each aimed at making a real difference to patient care at every stage of the journey. By focusing on these areas, we can help ensure better outcomes for everyone involved:
- A more person-centred approach to care
- Improving awareness of sepsis
- The prevention of severe infection and sepsis
- Improving the identification of severe infection and sepsis
- Escalating care once severe infection or sepsis has been identified
- Improving timeliness and effectiveness of treatment and recover
“It’s important to remember that this is a 10-year plan, and we are not expecting immediate delivery of all of its proposals”, says Dr Ron. “Nonetheless, it is hugely encouraging to see the framework’s suggestion that by 2035, we will have the best and most resilient infrastructure for recognising and managing sepsis, for all people and in all settings, in the world.”
