Sepsis kills more people each year in the UK than lung cancer. Dr. Paul Morgan shares the idea that by raising awareness of Sepsis to health professionals and the public alike, fewer people will die unnecessarily from Sepsis and that Sepsis survivors suffer fewer post-sepsis health problems and can access the help they need.
Dr Paul Morgan is a consultant in Intensive Care and Sepsis Lead for the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, based at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
