Sepsis Awareness, start to finish.
This training helps you recognise the signs of sepsis in residents and respond quickly to save lives. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by infection that can progress rapidly. This is the same module CareStream subscribers get, written for care settings rather than adapted from a generic course. It runs about 35 minutes and ends with a 20 question assessment.
- What is Sepsis and Why It Matters
Sepsis is a common and potentially life-threatening condition triggered by an infection.
- Who is at Risk of Sepsis
Anyone can develop sepsis after injury or minor infection.
- Early Warning Signs of Sepsis
The early signs of sepsis are amber warning signs that need urgent attention.
- Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Sepsis progresses through three stages: sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock.
- Taking Prompt Action When You Suspect Sepsis
When you notice signs that might indicate sepsis, you must take prompt action.
- Supporting Recovery from Sepsis
Residents who are treated in hospital will need a recovery plan on discharge with an assessment of the risks of recurrence and longer term effects.
What your team will be able to do.
- Identify the early warning signs of sepsis in residents
- Explain the three stages of sepsis progression and their severity
- Describe the immediate actions to take when sepsis is suspected
- Recognise which residents are at higher risk of developing sepsis
- Apply the care setting's sepsis awareness procedures in realistic care situations

What staff come away with
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by infection that can progress rapidly to organ failure and death
Early warning signs include high or low temperature, fast heartbeat, fast breathing, not urinating, and mental confusion
Severe sepsis and septic shock signs include discoloured skin, blue lips, very weak pulse, and becoming unresponsive
Report suspected sepsis immediately to the duty manager or nurse, or if delayed phone 111 or 999 depending on severity
Residents who are already unwell, have wounds, or weakened immune systems are at higher risk and have sepsis warning flags in their care plans
Always mention sepsis as a concern when speaking to medical services so they understand the urgency

Before you buy.
How long does Sepsis Awareness training take?
About 35 minutes, across 6 short lessons, followed by a 20 question assessment with a pass mark of 80%. Staff can stop and pick up where they left off.
What does the Sepsis Awareness module cover?
6 lessons: What is Sepsis and Why It Matters, Who is at Risk of Sepsis, Early Warning Signs of Sepsis, Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock, Taking Prompt Action When You Suspect Sepsis and Supporting Recovery from Sepsis. Each one pairs the teaching with a care scenario and a quick check.
How often do staff need to refresh Sepsis Awareness?
CareStream sets this module so it renews every year. Staff and managers are reminded before a certificate lapses, so the refresher is booked before the gap appears.
Is Sepsis Awareness completed fully online?
Yes. It is knowledge based, so staff complete the lessons and the assessment online and receive their certificate at the end. There is no practical sign-off.
Do I need a CareStream subscription to buy this?
No. This page exists precisely so you do not. You buy the licences you need, your staff complete the module in the CareStream hub, and that is the end of it. There is no trial to start, no card kept on file, and no subscription that begins quietly afterwards.
If you later decide you want the full platform, anything your staff have already completed carries across into your account.
What does one licence actually cover?
One licence covers one named member of staff for this one module, including the lesson, the assessment, any follow-up questions triggered by a wrong answer, and their certificate. Licences are not shared between people, because the completion record has to belong to an individual to be worth anything at inspection.
How quickly can staff start?
Immediately. The licences are on your account as soon as the payment clears, and staff get their invite the moment you add them. There is no onboarding call and no setup period.
Can staff complete it in another language?
Yes. Each staff member has a first language on their profile, and the lesson, the questions and the feedback all arrive in it. They answer in that language too. What you see as a manager stays in English, so the record reads the same whoever completed it.
What if someone fails the assessment?
Nothing is lost. A wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson on that specific point, and they retry it. The record shows the improvement from the first attempt to the latest, which is stronger evidence than a single pass mark, because it shows the gap was found and closed.
Can I buy for more than one service?
Yes. Buy the total number of licences you need and allocate them across your services when you add staff. If you are licensing for a group and want an invoice rather than a card payment, get in touch and we will raise one.
Licence any of these the same way.
Same price, same terms, no subscription needed.
