Welcome to Words Of Sepsis, the podcast from Sepsis Research FEAT to mark Sepsis Awareness Month 2022.

In this episode you'll hear from Kimberley. She developed sepsis after coming home from a sunny Easter Weekend walk with her family. At first she thought it might be sunstroke, but she soon became very ill.

You'll hear how Kimberley's life has completely changed and why she was posting some very odd Facebook updates during her recovery!

Sepsis is a condition that still takes the lives of some 50,000 people in the UK every year.

That's about 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 knowledge and the knowledge of others.

Do check out all eight episodes in the series and share them as widely as you can using them to start conversations with friends and family about sepsis.

It could save a life possibly even your own.

If you've been affected by anything you've heard, or you'd like more information about the groundbreaking research into sepsis that the charity funds please do visit our website. www.sepsisresearch.org.uk, where you can also make a donation.

You'll be helping us to save lives today and fund research for tomorrow.
