Action on Sepsis: Strategic Planning Workshop 2020

A big 'Thank you' to everyone who was able to attend and contribute to a very successful workshop.

We will be in touch in the coming weeks with a summary of the workshop outcomes. Until then you are welcome to provide feedback about the proposed cluster vision, mission, and strategic image here.

Our goal is to establish Action on Sepsis as a leading centre for research excellence in sepsis, provincially, nationally, and globally. We can’t do this without you and everyone in our community. This annual workshop will help establish our goals over the coming years as we prepare to apply for our next round of funding through UBC.

We need your input to ensure that our annual goals address the most current and pressing issues in sepsis and are in line with the expertise of our members. The priorities established at this workshop will support us as we transcend traditional silos and integrate across the full gambit of researchers, clinicians trainees, patient partners, and government actors.

The primary objective of this event is to establish the strategic priorities for the UBC Action on Sepsis Research Excellence Cluster for 2021.

Through group discussion and brainstorming sessions, we will identify clear goals for members and identify funding opportunities and strategies that will support these goals. We will also work together to make sure members have clear areas of commitment and discuss how Action on Sepsis can best support members to succeed as they drive their priority areas forward.

This event will take place virtually-details will be distributed to registered participants ahead of the event.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Through collaboration and innovation we will conquer sepsis!
