Case Study: UK Sepsis Trust helps make sepsis a national priority with PLMR Healthcomms

UK Sepsis Trust helps make sepsis a national priority with PLMR, launching a CQuIN commissioning lever

The UK Sepsis Trust, a healthcare charity, worked with PLMR Healthcomms to make sepsis a greater national health priority. Their challenge was to promote awareness and better treatment of sepsis by getting hospital trusts and the government to focus on the issue.

PLMR implemented a public affairs strategy that involved direct lobbying of ministers and arranging meetings with key NHS bodies. This campaign successfully positioned sepsis at the top of the government's agenda, culminating in an announcement that it was a national priority. As a direct result of PLMR's work, a CQuIN commissioning lever on sepsis was launched.
