National Pediatric Sepsis Symposium 2026 — Doha 2026 CME

National Pediatric Sepsis Symposium 2026

The National Pediatric Sepsis Symposium 2026 focuses on the recognition, assessment, and management of sepsis in children. The symposium provides healthcare professionals with an opportunity to explore evidence-based approaches, emerging practices, and strategies for improving outcomes in pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed sepsis.

Symposium Overview

The National Pediatric Sepsis Symposium 2026 brings together healthcare professionals to discuss current developments in the prevention, recognition, and treatment of pediatric sepsis. The program explores early identification of sepsis, clinical assessment, resuscitation strategies, antimicrobial management, and ongoing supportive care. Participants can gain practical insights into evidence-based protocols and approaches for managing critically ill children. The symposium also addresses challenges in pediatric sepsis care and highlights strategies for improving patient safety and clinical outcomes. Through expert presentations and multidisciplinary discussion, the event supports knowledge sharing and continuing professional development among healthcare teams involved in pediatric and critical care.

What you'll learn

Explain the role and clinical application of validated pediatric sepsis screening tools in the early identification of at-risk patients.

Apply the Phoenix Sepsis Score to assess the severity of illness and support timely clinical decision-making.

Integrate screening tools, severity scoring, and management pathways to support coordinated sepsis care across clinical settings.

Summarize the key changes and bundle recommendations in the 2026 Surviving Sepsis Campaign pediatric guidelines.

Identify systems and human factors driving diagnostic variation to implement strategies that reduce missed sepsis diagnoses.

Utilize Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and cardiac index monitoring to guide fluid resuscitation and vasoactive therapy in septic shock.
