2026 World Sepsis Day: From Awareness to Action

This year, ESICM is proud to mark World Sepsis Day with a special podcast, "From Awareness to Action," featuring ESICM President Jan De Waele in conversation with Krista Bracke, sepsis survivor and advocate behind the initiative Sepsis Stronger Together. Together, they discuss what survival really costs, where the gaps between evidence and practice remain, what the new 2026 SSC Guidelines mean for the bedside, and how the clinical and patient communities can work together to drive meaningful change — from education and workforce investment to European policy and national sepsis plans.
