Patient and family group

As part of the Swiss Sepsis Program (SSP), a patient and family group has been formed. They give a face to sepsis.

The group contributes the perspectives and experiences of those affected and their families to the SSP’s program management and individual activities, providing advice and support. The focus is also on sharing experiences, networking, mutual support, and coordinating the activities of sepsis ambassadors.
