We are keen to involve people in our research who have experience of sepsis, either directly or through someone close to them. Our project management group includes a patient representative and we also have two patient representatives on the DiAlS independent steering group.

We work with the UK Sepsis Trust to capture a wide range of patient experiences and to ensure research findings from DiAlS are widely disseminated to the public.  

If you would like to get involved in our research please contact Dr Kate Honeyford – DIALS@imperial.ac.uk
