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. 👇

[The UK Sepsis Trust @UKSepsisTrust]

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.

Never a dull moment with this ball of energy around.

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) 👇

Today is World Sepsis Day. Please seek medical help urgently if you or someone you know develop any of the SEPSIS symptoms.

#WorldSepsisDay #Sepsis #SepsisAwarenessMonth

[Melissa Mead MBE @amotherwithout]

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.

[UK Sepsis Nurse Forum @UKsepsisnurses]

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

[The UK Sepsis Trust @UKSepsisTrust]

Our clinical lead @amotherwithout and Trustee @aakashdeeparora have written in @TheLancet about the difficulties facing parents and clinicians in diagnosing #sepsis ahead of #WorldSepsisDay: https://t.co/1SFwokKW8o

[Akash Deep @aakashdeeparora]

A huge thanks to @amotherwithout for co-authoring this piece with me We all have a responsibility to tackle various barriers we discussed in this paper. Thank you @LancetChildAdol for publishing it on World sepsis day @UKSepsisTrust @WorldSepsisDay @ESPNIC_Society @SCCM @Sepsis

[The UK Sepsis Trust @UKSepsisTrust]

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!
