Today is #WorldSepsisDay.

Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection.

It happens when the immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage the body’s own tissues and organs. It can be hard to spot, so get clued up on the symptoms. ⤵️

[Health Facilitation Team - LSCft @HFTLSCft]

Today is world sepsis day. Always ask ‘could it be sepsis?’
We’ve spoken today to our colleagues about sepsis awareness and identifying deterioration.
Always be aware of the soft signs and remember clinical intuition. @KUttley @WeAreLSCFT

Building a sense of belonging is a key task for leaders who seek to help people feel engaged at work & to create the conditions for change. A new study identifies four factors that affect belonging at work:
1) Be Myself - enabling people to be their authentic selves at work (this factor had the greatest impact on performance)
2) Acceptance - finding whole acceptance of one’s self-expression (this factor had the greatest impact on intent to stay)
3) Diversity valued - people believe everyone can succeed to their full potential
4) Connection - feeling connected to organisational mission, to leaders and to the team

💬 We asked people with a learning disability to share their experiences of the ‘R’ word. They were so upset and traumatised by the word, they didn’t want to speak about it on camera. This is what they told us.

📢 Challenge it. Report it.

Congratulations to the ICB’s associate medical director for population health Dr Andy Knox on being awarded an MBE!
