Swiss Sepsis National Action Plan: A coordinated national action plan to stop sepsis-related preventable deaths and to improve the support of people affected by sepsis in Switzerland.
Full text linkBACKGROUND
Sepsis is a devastating disease which causes yearly over 10 million deaths worldwide. In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a resolution prompting member states to improve the prevention, recognition, and management of sepsis. The 2021 European Sepsis Report revealed that-contrary to other European countries-Switzerland had not yet actioned the sepsis resolution.
METHODS
A panel of experts convened at a policy workshop to address how to improve awareness, prevention, and treatment of sepsis in Switzerland. Goal of the workshop was to formulate a set of consensus recommendations toward creating a Swiss Sepsis National Action Plan (SSNAP). In a first part, stakeholders presented existing international sepsis quality improvement programs and national health programs relevant for sepsis. Thereafter, the participants were allocated into three working groups to identify opportunities, barriers, and solutions on (i) prevention and awareness, (ii) early detection and treatment, and (iii) support for sepsis survivors. Finally, the entire panel summarized the findings from the working groups and identified priorities and strategies for the SSNAP. All discussions during the workshop were transcribed into the present document. All workshop participants and key experts reviewed the document.
RESULTS
The panel formulated 14 recommendations to address sepsis in Switzerland. These focused on four domains, including (i) raising awareness in the community, (ii) improving healthcare workforce training on sepsis recognition and sepsis management; (iii) establishing standards for rapid detection, treatment and follow-up in sepsis patients across all age groups; and (iv) promoting sepsis research with particular focus on diagnostic and interventional trials.
CONCLUSION
There is urgency to tackle sepsis. Switzerland has a unique opportunity to leverage from lessons learnt during the COVID-19 pandemic to address sepsis as the major infection-related threat to society. This report details consensus recommendations, the rationale thereof, and key discussion points made by the stakeholders on the workshop day. The report presents a coordinated national action plan to prevent, measure, and sustainably reduce the personal, financial and societal burden, death and disability arising from sepsis in Switzerland
Sustainable Clothing Action Plan
Full text linkAs part of Defra’s Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) programme, a voluntary clothing industry initiative was co-ordinated by Defra with the aim to improve the environmental and ethical performance of clothing.
The Sustainable Clothing Roadmap aims to improve the environmental and social performance of clothing, building on existing initiatives and by co-ordinating action by key clothing supply chain stakeholders. Although organisations in the clothing supply chain have already taken significant steps to reduce adverse environmental and social impacts, further industry-wide co-operation and agreed commitments will enable that process to accelerate. That is the rationale behind the collaborative nature of the roadmap.
The DEFRA initiative is now a WRAP (Waste Resources Action Plan) initiative. Centre for Sustainable Fashion participate on the WRAP steering group and the sub groups on design and recycling.

Implementation of the Strengthening Community Organisations Action Plan
Full text linkCommunity organisations are a significant provider of services, including health, education, aged care, social services, and sport and recreational activities. They play an important role in enhancing liveability, and promoting social inclusion and community life. In 2008, the then government released The Victorian Government’s Action Plan: Strengthening Community Organisations. The action plan was developed as a result of two government commissioned reviews, which examined the challenges facing the community sector. The Office for the Community Sector (OCS) was established to lead the plan’s implementation. OCS has made good progress in implementing the action plan and delivering its main outputs. It played a valuable role in connecting community organisations and coordinating activities across government, which assisted with sector engagement, coordination and delivery of specific actions under the plan. While the majority of actions and outputs under the plan were completed, there were weaknesses in some aspects of planning, implementation and evaluation. This means OCS cannot demonstrate that the intended outcomes of the action plan were fully achieved or that the plan was implemented efficiently and effectively. OCS should improve its project planning and management practices to increase the likelihood that its future initiatives and programs will be successfully implemented
