@entity295 is a common condition with a major global impact on healthcare resources and expenditure. The Surviving @entity295 Campaign has been vigorous in promoting internationally recognised pathways to improve the management of septic @entity1 and decrease mortality. However, translating recommendations into practice is a challenging and complex task that requires a multi-faceted approach with sustained engagement from local stakeholders. Whilst working at a district general hospital in New Zealand, we were concerned by the seemingly inconsistent management of septic @entity1 , often leading to long delays in the initiation of life-saving measures such as antibiotic, fluid, and @entity26 administration. In our hospital there were no clear systems, protocols or guidelines in place for identifying and managing septic @entity1 . We therefore launched the @entity295 Six resuscitation bundle of care in our hospital in an attempt to raise awareness amongst staff and improve the management of septic @entity1 . We introduced a number of simple low-cost interventions that included educational sessions for junior doctors and nursing staff, as well as posters and modifications to phlebotomy trolleys that acted as visual reminders to implement the @entity295 Six bundle. Overall, we found there to a be a steady improvement in the delivery of the @entity295 Six bundle in septic @entity1 with 63% of @entity1 receiving appropriate care within one hour, compared to 29% prior to our interventions. However this did not translate to an improvement in @entity1 mortality. This project forms part of an on going process to instigate a fundamental culture change among local healthcare professionals regarding the management of @entity295 . Whilst we have demonstrated improved implementation of the @entity295 Six bundle, the key challenge remains to ensure that momentum of this project continues and forms a platform for sustainable clinical improvement in the long term.
