Introduction

This leaflet has been produced to give you general information about your upcoming telephone appointment with a sepsis nurse and should answer any questions that you may have about it. If, after reading it, you have any concerns or require further explanation, please contact secretaries on tel: 01482 461072

Why have you received this appointment?

You have received this follow-up appointment because you have been treated for an infection and/or sepsis during a recent hospital admission.

What is the Sepsis follow-up clinic?

This appointment should not cause you worry or concern. It is simply to discuss your hospital admission, check on how you are recovering and see if you require any additional support or information. We can give preventative advice, sign post you to other suitable services, or offer self-help guides to aid your recovery, or help you learn to live with any lasting effects of severe infection / sepsis.

Your appointment

Your appointment will last no longer than 20 minutes, however, if you would like a further follow up call, this can be arranged at the end of your appointment. School aged children do not have to miss school for the appointment- nurse discussion with a parent or carer will be sufficient if preferred. If you would prefer for us not to call you, or you need to re-arrange the appoint, please call our secretary on: tel: 01482 461072.
