Monday 2 November 2026, 10am–4pm
Friends Meeting House, Manchester

Join us to learn about sepsis research, share your experience and meet researchers and others affected by sepsis and serious infections.

We’ll talk about what matters to people, explore research happening now and discuss how people can help shape research in the future.

Anyone with experience of sepsis or a serious infection can join, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, blood poisoning or meningitis.

Join our friendly workshop of 10-12 people in central Manchester this September to share your views on a new UV light device designed to prevent catheter-related infections and reduce changes.

We want to hear from people with personal or family experience of needing catheters or central lines in hospital or at home.

We’ll explore how the tool fits into people’s needs and care and how to design a trial to test how well it achieves this in real life.
