Why take part?
Sepsis is a serious condition that affects 245,000 people every year in the UK. At the UK Sepsis Trust, we work to save lives from sepsis and improve outcomes for survivors, raising public awareness, educating health professionals, and supporting those who have been affected by this devastating condition.
But we can’t do it alone.
