We have developed a unique range of blended-learning tools that make sepsis training more engaging and effective.

  • Sepsis Game: a board game for group learning with a supporting digital Sepsis Quiz
  • Sepsis Challenge is a brand-new online game-based educational app

These resources help staff and students to recognise the signs of sepsis and gives them the confidence to respond quickly and effectively.


Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection becomes uncontrolled and injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis can lead to shock, multiple organ failure and death if it is not recognised early and treated effectively. Fixing sepsis is a multi-disciplinary responsibility because sepsis crosses boundaries. Relevant and effective staff training is essential.

These educational resources are evidence-based and were developed in partnership with NHS England, Health Education England, e-Learning for Healthcare and the UK Sepsis Trust.

The Sepsis Game

#

The box contains everything you need to run a successful training session. Each game contains a pack of scenario cards designed to stimulate discussions that raise awareness and improve care delivery skills. The scenarios and questions vary in complexity which allows you to structure games that meet the needs of each group. Just pop it in your bag for team meetings, study days, workshops, lunch meetings and events.

How to play

    The game is designed for between 2 and 12 players divided into two competing teams. It takes around 45 minutes to play and can be used in any care setting; all you need is a table and some chairs. The rules are very simple and the facilitator doesn’t need sepsis expertise. The game is essentially self-regulating and the facilitator can take a passive role in the game.

How the Sepsis game works


The game is very flexible and meets the needs of a modern organisation. It is in effect a ‘pop-up workshop’ that can be used anywhere at any time. The game can be used as an informal activity in the workplace, or as part of more structured training and workshops.

Team take turns to move their counters around the board by answering questions correctly. The first team to get to the end wins the game or if the time runs out whoever is closest to the end is the winner. The discussions that the teams have between themselves are what make the game effective.
