Dylan Cope was just nine years old when he died after developing sepsis.

He had been taken to the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran, Torfaen, in December 2022 with suspected appendicitis, but was wrongfully discharged with flu before dying of septic shock.

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection and happens when a person’s immune system overreacts and starts to damage the body’s own tissues and organs, according to the NHS.

His mother Corinne Cope says the experience of watching her son die from the condition will “haunt” her and her husband for ever and she has since been working with the Aneurin Bevan health board to implement a sepsis awareness plan.
