Sepsis Awareness Webinar – 16 September

September is Sepsis Awareness Month, with World Sepsis Day on 13th September

Scottish Care is proud to be supporting Sepsis Awareness Month and World Sepsis Day. We are delighted to invite Colin Graham, the Chief Operating Officer from Sepsis Research to join us for a webinar on Thursday 16th September at 2:00 pm.

We encourage members to join this webinar to find out more and raise awareness about sepsis.  Details to join this webinar are available on the Members Area of this website.

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection that accounts for around 50,000 deaths in the UK annually, more than bowel and breast cancer combined.

Sepsis can kill a previously healthy person in hours – taking the lives of five people on average in the UK every hour. It can strike anyone without warning, it’s very important that people know the symptoms and seek urgent medical help if they suspect sepsis.
