Sepsis, which is sometimes referred to as septicaemia or blood poisoning, is a potentially life-threatening bodily response to an infection

It is crucial that sepsis is immediately identified and treated; failure to do so can lead to multiple organ failure, long-term damage, and can even prove to be fatal. According to the Sepsis Trust, five people die from blood poisoning in the UK every hour.
