Ulrika Knutsson

Ulrika is a communications specialist.

In 2015, she and Professor Adam Linder founded Sepsisfonden in Sweden (The Swedish Sepsis Trust), a trust that has grown to be a major influencer in Sweden when it comes to spreading sepsis awareness to the public, as well as to decision makers, and raising money for research.

In her capacity as Secretary General 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 Alliance Award 2020, much due to Ulrika’s efforts in the sepsis awareness work in Sweden. She is also a member of the Global Sepsis Alliance Board and the European Sepsis Alliance Steering Committee.
