Two recent interventional trials have demonstrated that early recognition and intervention can result in dramatic reductions in acute 28-day mortality. This roundtable discussion was convened to identify ways in which these recent advances could be translated into clinical practice.

Overcoming this should facilitate wider recognition not only among health care providers in particular those working in acute specialties outside intensive care units ICUs but also politicians and the general public. Such education is vital successfully implemented. if early recognition and intervention are to be Keywords health resources sepsis This open discussion was arranged to raise awareness of the common clinical syndrome of sepsis and the apparent paradox between the successful development of the first modifying agent for this syndrome - recombinant human activated protein C rhAPC - and a perception that there may be slow uptake of its use by clinicians.
