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

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.

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.
