Only one in two surveyed adults have heard of Sepsis. To help raise awareness of Sepsis, Dr Ron Daniels has prepared a short video, explaining why it is important for all of us to become #SepsisSavvy.
#Sepsis is more common than heart attacks and kills more than breast, bowel and prostate cancers in the UK each year.
This #SepsisAwarenessMonth, you can help protect your loved ones by watching & sharing this short video!

The APPG on Sepsis is saddened by the news of the death of our former Chair, Dame Cheryl Gillan. The APPG’s thoughts are with her family and friends during this time.
Fantastic to see our chair @Rees4Neath ask the Prime Minister what plans he has to make sure that the link between sepsis, Covid, long-sepsis and long-Covid is included in the recently announced £18.5million gov‘t funding for research projects into long-Covid.
We’re currently live at the @UKSepsisTrust and Pfizer UK Parliamentary event on the future of infection threats. Interesting and powerful line up of panellists, all discussing policy challenges and solutions in tackling AMR and improving best practice! #sepsis
Yesterday we held our first ever virtual meeting of the #SEPSISAPPG! Interesting discussion on supporting patients through COVID-19 and rehabilitation services. Thanks to @Rees4Neath, @ChrisStephens , @mikejwood , baroness masham and Jim Shannon MP! 💻
This coming Tuesday at 3pm we are holding our first virtual meeting of 2020! We'll be discussing the impact of COVID-19 on sepsis patients across the UK #APPGSEPSIS
UPDATE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation and following the Gov't's/Parliament's advice our planned meeting for the 24th March has been postponed. We will run this event once it is safe to do so again. In the meantime - stay safe and follow advice. #COVID2019#WashYourHands
Dear health workers:
Take 5 Moments for hand hygiene to prevent sepsis in health care:
1️⃣ Before touching a patient
2️⃣ Before clean/aseptic procedure
3️⃣ After body fluid exposure/risk
4️⃣ After touching a patient
5️⃣ After touching patient surroundings
Good news! Our APPG is back up and running following our Inaugural Meeting yesterday. Welcome to all our returning members and new. Lots of energy in the room. This Parliament we will keep fighting #sepsis @Rees4Neath @mikejwood@CherylGillan @MaryRobinson01 @MargaretFerrier
Recovery from sepsis can take time, both physically and emotionally. It can leave you with questions. If you would like to talk about your experience of sepsis, come along to one of our support groups.

Every hour in the UK five people die from #sepsis. This is why it is more important than ever to keep raising awareness of its symptoms, and keep up pressure to prevent it.
