Sepsis: Student set to lose hands and legs following diagnosis

A teenager is set to have both legs, a hand, and the fingers of his remaining hand amputated after he contracted sepsis.

Hamish Wilson, 18, from Crowborough, had just begun university in Southampton, where he is studying philosophy, before he fell ill in October.

The student was rushed to hospital last month where his condition deteriorated rapidly and he suffered major organ failure – but despite being critically ill, he pulled through.

An online fundraiser has raised almost £50,000 to help convert the family home to make it more accessible for Hamish, as well as contributing towards vital physiotherapy and psychotherapy, and a part-time carer.
