Georgina McNamara, from The UK Sepsis Trust, is a nurse with a background in the care of the acutely ill. She was the first nurse in the UK to work as a Sepsis Nurse Practitioner with a project funded by the National Institute for Healthcare Research, and worked with Dr Ron Daniels, to develop the Sepsis Six.
Ron and Georgina, with a team of professionals then undertook a piece of research that demonstrated that patients who received the Sepsis Six within one hour were half as likely to die. She is passionate about making a real difference and reducing mortality through education of the public and health professionals.
