Sepsis can be hard to recognise, so trust your gut instinct. If you spot any of the signs or are concerned call 111 or go to Emergency and ask: “Could it be Sepsis?” 

About our Trust

We recognise the importance of media for our kaupapa

Journalists have a critical role to play in helping the New Zealand Sepsis Trust in its mission to raise awareness of the signs of sepsis, and to educate the public that it is a medical emergency.

If you would like to talk to us about a media opportunity, please contact our Communications and Engagement Director Ally Hossain - ally@sepsis.org.nz 

This global webinar was designed to help equip media professionals and Sepsis advocates with data, stories, and practical tools to raise awareness and inspire global action against one of the world’s deadliest yet most overlooked health emergencies.  It is moderated by NZ Sepsis Trust's Ally Hossain.
