The Victorian Sepsis Grand Round (VSGR) is an online event series. It was initiated by the Alfred Health Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Services, in collaboration with the Australian Sepsis Network to provide a forum for healthcare professionals to explore and debate aspects of best-practice sepsis care. The series promotes collaborative efforts and showcases the world-class treatment, expertise and resources available in Australia.

There will be an exploration of the pathology of sepsis in immunocompromised individuals, including the immunological processes involved, the effects of sepsis in splenectomy, and emergency response strategies for managing sepsis in oncology patients. In addition, attendees will gain insights into the clinical treatment options available for sepsis in transplant patients.

There will be ample time to ask questions during the panel discussion.
