<p>In May 2017 the World Health Assembly adopted a resolution to “improve, prevent,
diagnose, and manage sepsis”, making sepsis a global health priority for the World
Health Organization (WHO).</p><p> </p><p>The resolution urges governments to develop
national action plans in collaboration with the professions and patient-advocacy groups
to strengthen policies and processes related to sepsis. The NHS England cross-system
sepsis programme board, which includes stakeholders from across the health and care
landscape, patient groups and professional bodies, published the first Cross-System
Sepsis Action Plan in 2015. With the publication of the second Cross-system Sepsis
Action Plan in September 2017, we will maintain our focus on improving prevention
and treatment of sepsis. The cross-system Action Plan covers a range of actions from
the WHO resolution that are appropriate to the national context.</p>
