Sepsis APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 18/06/2025

To provide a medium through which parliamentarians, organisations and those affected by Sepsis can discuss the current provision for the condition, which claims 48,000 lives in the UK every year, promote public understanding and advocate for simple, timely interventions to be implemented as standard across the NHS; whilst considering Sepsis as a critical component of the response to infections management including infection prevention and a patient-centred approach to antimicrobial stewardship.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
