September is Sepsis Awareness Month, and the UKST team has been busy: from a Westminster meeting with ambassador Harry Redknapp and “bionic” Lord Craig Mackinlay, to nationwide #SepsisSavvy awareness events. But now, the spotlight turns to a project that's been years in the making...
For World Sepsis Day 2025, UK Sepsis Trust’s Founder & Chief Medical Officer Dr Ron Daniels hosts a special edition of Sepsis Voices to unveil the charity’s brand-new Sepsis Assessment Tool: a free online checker that helps you determine the best course of action if you or a loved one has an infection.
Joining Dr Ron is our first returning podcast guest, Melissa Mead, UKST’s Clinical Partnerships Lead and tireless sepsis awareness campaigner since the death of her son, William, in 2014. Melissa explains how this new tool could have changed her family’s story, and how it can save others’ lives from today.
Together the pair discuss:
- How the Sepsis Assessment Tool works and when to use it
- How the tool will empower people to advocate for themselves and their loved ones
- Safeguards to prevent unnecessary strain on NHS services
- The key sepsis symptoms everyone should know
The tool is free and live from today (13th September) at sepsistrust.org

Check your symptoms, share it with loved ones, and remember the question that saves lives: Could it be sepsis?
