Living Without a Functioning Spleen: Translating Guidelines into Everyday Care
Date:
17 Mar 2026 at 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Patients living without a functioning spleen are at lifelong risk of severe, rapidly progressive infection, including overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) and sepsis. Despite well-established guidelines, many patients in the community remain unrecognised, incompletely vaccinated, or not receiving appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis.
Healthcare providers play a central role in identifying these patients, coordinating preventative care, and providing early safety-netting. This practical, case-based webinar is designed to support physicians and other healthcare providers to confidently apply current Australian recommendations and integrate Spleen Australia into routine primary care workflows.
