A journey through my grief of losing my child. The days will always be brighter because he existed. The nights will always be darker because he's gone.
Hear from our Clinical Partnerships Co-ordinator Melissa (@amotherwithout) on @gmb this morning discussing a new campaign led by parents who have been bereaved by sepsis.
Melissa was joined by Zaheer, who lost his 5-yr-old nephew Yusuf to #sepsis in 2022. 👇
A group of parents are demanding a national inquiry into unexpected sepsis deaths and greater NHS accountability.
Tune in to @GMB tomorrow morning to hear from UKST's Clinical Partnerships Co-Ordinator @amotherwithout as she discusses this important campaign.

@UKSepsisTrust is on a roll in 2025! We’ve just commissioned a critical piece of research from @StAndrewsMed (https://t.co/BsSwBEj033), we’re working with @NICEComms on the next #sepsis updates, we’ve commissioned @YHEC1 to provide bang up-to-date economic analysis AND there’s even bigger news to come!
And then he was 9.
Funny. Loving. Smart. Curious. Spirited (feral) and almost as tall as me.
Never a dull moment with this ball of energy around.
Happy birthday Arthur 🐻 💙

Lily, who was fit and healthy, thought she had freshers’ flu. But she developed #sepsis, and has since become a quadruple amputee.
Our Head of Regions @TCTRON spoke to BBC Wales this morning about Lily’s story & Sepsis Awareness Month (1:42:00) 👇

En route to #HSJNationalPatient
Safety Congress. Tmw I’m taking part in the Panel Preventing Deterioration & Avoidable Harm, Strengthening Paed Early Warning Systems (PEWS) for better detection & response.
Always good to be part of the conversation about how we can all improve.
It’s #WorldSepsisDay
Proud to have worked on this with @UKSepsisTrust
A #Sepsis symptom assessment tool. A class 1 medical device. Able to give you advice in the context of infection whether your risk of sepsis is low, moderate or high.
Life saving.

Today is #WorldSepsisDay & if recognised quickly #Sepsis is often treatable with simple measures of antibiotics & fluids. Empower your patients on discharge with the safety net of when to seek advice, when to return & to #JustAsk could it be sepsis? #SepsisAwareness saves lives
Brilliant to see the efforts of health organisations like Nuffield Health Warwickshire ahead of #WorldSepsisDay! Not only have they put together a great display but also a sepsis kit- including a card game and keychain!
