Facebook Group
The Sepsis Support NZ Facebook Group is our official peer and Sepsis Trust support group for those affected by sepsis. You may have recently been diagnosed with sepsis, experiencing ongoing recovery issues, or have a loved one who is affected by sepsis.
This group is moderated by the Sepsis Trust NZ team and all posts will be screened and approved before posting.
Meet Our Sepsis Clinical Nurse Specialist
Cam has been a registered nurse for over 20 years and is NZ’s first sepsis clinical nurse specialist.
You can schedule a time to connect with Cam virtually or by phone to help you understand and process your experience with sepsis. Cam facilitates an online support group meeting via Teams for sepsis survivors. Online group meetings are relaxed and informal and are a way for people to gain support and share experiences, knowledge and practical tips.
You don’t have to have had sepsis to connect with Cam. If you need some help or advice caring for a sepsis survivor or you’ve lost a loved one to sepsis, please reach out.
