Ulrika Knutsson

Ulrika is a communications specialist. In 2015, she and Dr. Adam Linder founded Sepsisfonden in Sweden (The Swedish Sepsis Trust). This trust has grown into a major influencer in Sweden for spreading sepsis awareness to the public and decision-makers, as well as raising funds for research.

In her capacity as communications director at Sepsisfonden, she has also worked closely with the Swedish National Sepsis Plan committee, and Sepsisfonden has for example been involved in providing the program with patient material.

Sepsisfonden received the Global Sepsis Award in 2020, much due to Ulrika’s efforts in the sepsis awareness work in Sweden. She is also a member of the Board of the Global Sepsis Alliance and the Steering Committee of the European Sepsis Alliance.
