Next week will see thousands of individuals and organisations worldwide act together to raise awareness of sepsis, aiming to reduce the number of deaths caused by this terrible illness.
World Sepsis Day, initiated by the Global Sepsis Alliance and held annually on September 13th, offers the opportunity to raise funds and raise awareness through activities both large and small, from online webinars to physical challenges, from fund-raising picnics to manning an information stall.
The message is simple: Stop sepsis, save lives.
Sepsis is currently responsible for approximately 11,000,000 deaths worldwide every year. Early recognition and prompt medical action are key to giving a patient the best chance of surviving this life-threatening illness and the best chance of a good long-term quality of life.
Negligent medical care, however, can leave a patient struggling with permanent life-changing symptoms.
If you or a loved one are struggling with the impact of sepsis due to negligent medical care, you may be entitled by law to make a claim for compensation.
A failure to prevent sepsis, a failure to spot the symptoms and a delay in initiating treatment may all be regarded as negligent.
