The Australian Sepsis Grand Round (ASGR), a free online event series dedicated to advancing best-practice sepsis care and fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals.

Since its inception in 2021, the ASGR has been a source of knowledge exchange and professional development.  Formerly known as the Victorian Sepsis Grand Round, Alfred Health and Sepsis Australia are proud to present this initiative, which unites clinicians from Australia and around the globe in the pursuit of excellence in sepsis management.

The ASGR provides a platform for clinicians involved in sepsis care to explore, debate, and showcase Australia’s world-class treatment, expertise, and resources. Through national collaborations, we curate and deliver diverse programs centered on pioneering research and medical practice that drives innovation in sepsis care.

All previous recordings can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the ASGR website.
