Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Medically, sepsis is your body’s immune system overresponding to an infection.
Although treatable, sepsis kills 52,000 people a year in the UK. We’re here to save lives and improve outcomes for survivors. We raise public awareness, educate health professionals and support those affected by sepsis.
