Yesterday, Group B Strep Support was honoured to be represented by Jane and Oliver at The Future of Sepsis Care event on the Terrace at the Houses of Parliament.
Huge thanks to Lord Mackinlay of Richborough for hosting, and to Dr Ron Daniels, Sarah Hamilton Fairley and the whole UK Sepsis Trust team for bringing so many people together who are determined to change outcomes.
It was inspiring and hard. There were so many voices focused on reducing sepsis and improving outcomes, and so many personal experiences that shouldn’t still be happening.
For Jane, it was deeply personal. Her son died 30 years ago from group B Strep sepsis, and he’s the reason Group B Strep Support was set up.
Sepsis is a huge issue. And it will take all of us - clinicians, policy makers, campaigners, researchers, industry, charities and people with lived experience - working together to make change happen.
This week especially, it was important to see Five X More represented too, as it’s Black Maternal Health Awareness Week. Equity must be part of how we tackle sepsis, not an afterthought.
Thank you again to everyone pushing for change. Together, we can.
