More patients are dying from blood poisoning than anticipated at 28 NHS trusts More patients are dying from sepsis than anticipated at 28 NHS trusts in England, MailOnline can reveal.
Deaths from the silent killer at Tameside and Glossop NHS Foundation Trust are 38 per cent higher than expected over the past six years.
In real terms, 517 patients died from sepsis - a violent immune response to an infection - at the trust in Ashton-under-Lyne, well above the 373 deaths expected.
The NHS denies excess deaths are necessarily avoidable, saying the rate given for each trust is based solely on a national average. The Daily Mail
