September is Sepsis Awareness Month
Hi All,
Next month is September which is Sepsis Awareness Month.
Sepsis is a medical emergency and its symptoms must be treated rapidly to reduce the risk of death. As part of Sepsis Awareness Month and as part of my champion role I am encouraging everyone to learn the signs of sepsis. As many as 80% of sepsis deaths could be prevented with early detection and treatment.
If everyone could please take the time to learn the signs. You could save a life.
Please look out for the posters and other educational materials including toolkits I have distributed about the hospice.
I will be sending out a quiz in September for everyone to take part in to help raise the awareness of sepsis. If anyone has any questions or wants any more information around sepsis please feel free to speak with me or send me an email.
| Kind Regards,
Faye Whyte |
