The Sepsis Modern Service Framework, a copy of which is attached, includes priority actions and tasks with indicative timelines. Immediate and short-term actions in the framework will be delivered within existing funding under the current departmental allocation following the 2025 Spending Review. Longer term funding will be subject to future spending reviews.
The wide range of experts on sepsis, severe infection, and antimicrobial resistance involved in development of the framework continue to be engaged, to support both implementation of best practice consistently across the National Health Service, and to prioritise research and innovation efforts to better enable improvements in patient care and outcomes.
The framework also commits to delivering a targeted public communications campaign for high-risk groups to improve prevention, identification, escalation, and response to sepsis.

The updated relationships, sex and health education statutory guidance was published in July 2025 and includes curriculum content on drugs and alcohol. Schools are required to teach the new content from September 2026.
