Shaping sepsis research for the future - the next stage
This March sees the exciting second phase of the project. We are taking all of the questions that we collected during the first survey and asking you to rank these questions in order of importance to you.
As a reminder, this once in a generation project for Sepsis Research FEAT is asking sepsis survivors, their carers, and health and social care professionals to help us identify the top ten unanswered questions to guide future research into sepsis. To make sure that researchers focus on the most pressing needs – of people at risk or diagnosed with sepsis, and the people who care for them.
What is sepsis?
Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening over-reaction to an infection.
When sepsis strikes the immune system overreacts and starts attacking not just the infection, but everything else around it including the body’s own tissues and organs. Any type of infection —bacterial, viral or fungal — can lead to sepsis, with potentially devastating results.
If you are helping a person with health issues to complete this survey, please make sure that the responses are their own. You can complete the survey again yourself as the carer.
