Sepsis Information
What is Sepsis?
Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body’s response to infection is so severe that it can lead to organ failure. It is a medical emergency that requires prompt attention and treatment. Sepsis can result from infections in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, abdomen, urinary tract, or skin.

As a survivor, you’ve faced one of the toughest battles, and your strength is extraordinary. Here, you're not alone. Whether you're navigating recovery, managing long-term effects, or simply seeking connection, this space is for you. Together, we share stories, offer support, and stand united—because healing is stronger when we do it together.
Families
If you’ve lost someone to sepsis or supported a loved one through it, you’ve been through an incredibly hard journey—and your strength matters deeply. Here, you're not alone. Whether you're grieving, adjusting to life after sepsis, or simply looking for connection, this space is for you. Together, we share stories, offer support, and stand united together as one
Healthcare Professionals
A community rooted in respect, resilience, and shared purpose. As a healthcare professional, you’ve faced the urgency, complexity, and emotional weight of sepsis. Your dedication makes a difference.

What to expect?
What is United Against Sepsis?
This event offers a dynamic program filled with engaging talks, personal testimonials, panel discussions and networking opportunities. Participants can expect an open dialogue between those directly affected by sepsis and those on the frontlines of care. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to inspiring stories from sepsis survivors and bereaved families as well as insights from healthcare professionals committed to improving outcomes and saving lives.
Why is raising awareness important?
Every year sepsis affects 3 million people in the European Union alone, and yet this terrible figure does not get to the headlines. Sepsis is the most severe complication of infection, and a leading cause of preventable deaths and disability in Europe. Every minute more than one person dies of sepsis in Europe and three-quarters of survivors suffer long-term sequelae. Sepsis can affect people at any age. Vaccination, clean care, early recognition and treatment of infection, are key to preventing sepsis.
Who is participating the event?
Healthcare professionals, patients, bereaved families, policy makers and journalists
