September Is Sepsis Awareness Month

As a sepsis survivor myself, I’m keen to promote sepsis awareness month as much as possible. Sepsis awareness month is held annually in September to raise awareness of sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition that can lead to organ failure and death if not recognised and treated quickly.

As many of you already know, I contracted sepsis in the summer of 2018, but I was lucky; I survived. Thanks to the wonderful staff of St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester, who recognised the symptoms early and managed to get me the treatment I needed. I will forever be in debt to the hospital and its superb staff.

I’ve made a short series of videos charting my journey through the ordeal of sepsis. In this video, I’ve been admitted to the intensive care unit at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. It must have been an extremely worrying time for my family and friends, with my family visiting me every day, and my daughter constantly by my side. My daughter Vicky took all the photos and videos of my time in intensive care.

You can watch the videos below or on my YouTube channel. But honestly, it won’t be any more enjoyable wherever you watch the video! You can also subscribe to my channel. You’ll then be amongst the first to know when I release new videos.
