Family experiences

Families who have a child impacted by sepsis tell us they want consistent, research-based and timely education. The below resources aim to provide you with information on:

Journeying Through Sepsis

Having a child in hospital with sepsis is a very challenging time for you, your child and other members of your family and community.

Our eight-part Journeying Though Sepsis video series below aims to support your family by providing information on each stage of your child’s hospital journey – from initial diagnosis through to intensive care, rehabilitation and support after discharge.

We hope this video series will provide you with clear and relevant information that you can explore further with your child’s health care team. Watch these videos however you choose as they have been designed to be watched in part or in full, individually or in order as a series.

We thank the Queensland families who have openly and honestly shared their experiences in order to help others: Sabella, Marissa and Peter; Tiffany and Austin; Cindy and Myles; Amy, Peter and Mia.
