"Canada doesn't have a national plan on sepsis. Researchers say that needs to change."

Dr. Kali Barrett and I spoke with CBC to highlight upcoming work (to be published soon), revealing key gaps in sepsis policies, guidelines, and health professional training standards.

Spent the morning at CBC Studios in Toronto, where we joined Matt Galloway on The Current.

We discussed the significant burden of sepsis—accounting for 1 in 5 hospitalizations—and emphasized the need for a coordinated, proactive approach to tackling it.

Fatima Sheikh's research focuses on social determinants of health, which she says should be considered when developing policies related to sepsis.

Sepsis is a hospital emergency, but what if we focus on where it begins: the community?

We highlight priorities to mitigate, monitor, measure, and manage sepsis in the community. Over 90% of cases start in the community, making a community-focused approach essential.

From presenting my first thesis paper at HEI Research Day & @cahspr.bsky.social, moderating a powerful conversation with Ted at the HHS Building Bridges Symposium, and receiving the @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social FHS Outstanding Achievement Award, it’s been a full and rewarding year!
