The Diabetes Technology Foundation workshop yesterday with colleagues across King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust was a great success. Our immersive, speed dating event meant six different industry partners were able to effectively train and upskill all attendees in the current diabetes technologies available. Hearing from four expert patients living with diabetes, facilitating a lively panel discussion, and exploring a number of case studies was distinctly insightful and powerful. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event so valuable and enjoyable! Cc Geraldine Gallen MSc Pender Siobhan Sophie Harris Insulin Safety Week King's Health Partners

Sepsis is a rare and very serious reaction to an infection, but it can be hard to identify. That's why Advanced Clinical Practitioner teams (ACPs) exist to help improve the early identification and prompt treatment of sepsis. All healthcare professionals, patients and the public need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of sepsis, which include: fever, hypotension, tachycardia and confusion. If healthcare professionals are concerned or worried about a patient they can alert a member of the medical team for review. Sarah Casboult, Simon Slade, James Manns, and Kelly Brockman are members of an ACP team at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and they shared with us how their work helps to make a difference ⬇
