Welcome to the Sepsis Research FEAT Words Of Sepsis podcasts.
Throughout September, Sepsis Awareness Month, we'll be talking to sepsis survivors and their families about their experiences.
Some of the stories you hear may be quite painful, many are uplifting. They are stories of shock, fear, sometimes loss, often courage, but also hope.
Sepsis is a condition that still takes the lives of some 50,000 people in the UK every year.
That's more than five lives lost every hour.
Our hope is that through these podcasts, many more people will become aware of sepsis and that some of the loss and suffering related to sepsis can be prevented as you increase your own knowledge and the knowledge of others.
So do please listen, share these Words Of Sepsis and help us to raise awareness and save lives.

This episode is particularly poignant for us, it was recorded by our wonderful supporter Rachel shortly before her sudden death. We would like to dedicate this episode to Rachel’s memory in recognition of her ardent desire to spread awareness of sepsis and to help others. We were so grateful for Rachel’s tremendous support and assistance and to all those who contributed to these podcasts and made this series possible.
In this episode, recorded in Summer 2022, Rachel talked about how an undiagnosed kidney stone went on to have far reaching consequences for her. The story she told focused on her life after sepsis and the challenges she faced.
