Understanding Sepsis – a Film About Sepsis for Young People by the Swedish Sepsisfonden

Sepsisfonden is a Swedish sepsis trust that started in 2015. Since the start, one of their main objectives has been to increase awareness around sepsis in Sweden.

This spring, they have launched a school project where they target young people in their awareness work, especially kids in the ages around 13 to 17. The first step has been producing a film that explains how the immune system works and what happens when you develop sepsis, embedded above.

Later this year, they will also send out a pedagogical material to all science teachers, teaching in year 8 (kids around 14 years), together with this film, and encourage them to take the time to talk about sepsis in class.
