Why sign up?
Our Sepsis Savvy resources help save lives. Secondary school teacher Emma Cox spotted the signs of sepsis in her own Mum after delivering one of UKST’s Sepsis Savvy lessons. Because she knew what to look out for, she was able to get her to hospital quickly and thankfully save her life!
Emma said: “If it wasn’t for what I’d read in those sepsis lessons and the sepsis awareness cards that we’d printed out and given to the students, I don’t think I would have known what was going on and I don’t think my mum would still be here.”
