Sepsis Research FEAT

Sepsis and your workplace

Sepsis kills around 50,000 people in the UK every year. It can affect anyone regardless of age, sex or state of health. Colleagues from your workplace could be affected by sepsis at any time, or may have been already.

With sepsis, recognising the key symptoms and knowing what to do can make the difference between life and death.

Sepsis strikes fast. Prompt treatment can be the difference between a full recovery or ongoing physical & psychological difficulties.

Your workplace needs to know about sepsis. We can provide support for all business types and sizes - from large multi-nationals to SMEs to sole traders. Let us work with you to tailor information and awareness training to suit your needs, giving you, your employees or colleagues confidence about what to do in the event of sepsis.

Life Saving sepsis awareness training

We deliver free in person or virtual awareness sessions for companies and staff.

We can tailor our content to your industry type. For example, did you know that an injury at work can lead to infection which could then develop into sepsis? We have a tailored industry presentation for the construction and manufacturing sectors with everything you and your Health & Safety Team need to know.

Or perhaps you are in the care sector? Elderly or vulnerable people could be more at risk of developing sepsis. Let us upskill your staff on the key warning signs and symptoms so that they are best placed to recognise sepsis and take prompt action.

Whatever your industry sector, contact us today to discuss your business needs.

We also have business and workplace partnership, sponsorship, events and volunteering opportunities that we would be delighted to discuss with employers and employees.

As a supporter of Sepsis Research FEAT, we really hope that you can help us reach more businesses by putting us in touch with your employer or any other businesses that you have connections with.

Our main objective is that sepsis is talked about and recognised more in the business world. Any fundraising or partnership opportunities would only be discussed if that is something that the business has indicated that they are interested in exploring.

Sepsis Research FEAT was delighted to hear at the end of last month that Dr Kenneth Baillie has been appointed Professor of Experimental Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

This is tremendous news and well-deserved recognition of the enormous contribution made by Dr Baillie to the field of Intensive Care Medicine in general and to the worldwide response to COVID-19 in particular.

Sepsis Research FEAT is proud to have financially supported Professor Baillie’s world-leading GenOMICC research from the outset and we send him our warmest congratulations.
