World Sepsis Day

Hi all,

 

Today (Wednesday 13th September) is World Sepsis Day and is a global day of awareness and fundraising to fight a devastating condition that accounts for 11 million deaths worldwide each year. Public knowledge still has a long way to go – as one in five people haven’t heard of sepsis – and one in three would not treat sepsis as a medical emergency. Timely intervention is crucial, because it is often treatable if caught early. So it is important to inform yourself with potentially life-saving information…

 

Awareness really can saves lives. To get started, please take a few minutes to complete my Sepsis Quiz, to test your newly-acquired knowledge or you may have seen my QR code on the September newsletter which you can scan to access the sepsis quiz using your phone device.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to speak to the sepsis champions here at Derian House
