Coping with necrotising fasciitis

The Foundation has been set up to offer help, guidance and support for anybody that has been affected by necrotising fasciitis or any severe streptococcal infections. We hope that the information, provided by this site offers you some substance and facts to help you deal with the condition, its effects and lets you know you're not alone.

We've had contacts from people all over the United Kingdom and beyond. If you want to talk to someone close to where you are who has been affected by necrotising fasciitis, please contact us and we can put you in touch with someone.

The personal experiences section contains stories from people who have been affected by NF as a patient or relative. Sadly, many people who are affected by this dreadful infection do not survive. The dedications section is a place to remember those who were taken by necrotising fasciitis.

Help our research

As part of our work in trying to improve the understanding of NF we're gathering personal experiences of the onset and treatment of necrotising fasciitis and severe streptococcal infection.

If you have been affected by NF either as a patient or relative, please help us by completing our research questionnaire.
