Sepsis Sunday 🫶
Sepsis is a bigger killer than heart attacks, lung cancer or breast cancer.
The blood infection is a fast killer too. A person can be a very healthy fit individual one day and be dead the next morning.
Sepsis does not discriminate.

Lots of learning after our breaking bad news simulation this morning in ED @TempleStreetHos . Thanks to @RoleplayersforT for our wonderful actor Deirdre who helped facilitate a safe space for staff to engage in difficult conversations with parents.

Scrap the VAT on AEDs
Today we presented @Paschald our petition with over 8,300 signatures to scrap the VAT on AEDs
IHF Resuscitation Manager @Wexsinnott said: "the VAT on defibrillators is a tax on saving lives & it’s time it was removed” @CFRIreland #ScrapAEDTax #Budget2023

Know the signs & symptoms of sepsis.
For children under 5 watch if they are not feeding /vomiting/have not had a wet nappy for the last 12 hours.
If you see any of these symptoms ask your doctor 'could this be sepsis?'

If, like me, you are involved in sport and you have been transfixed by the Christian Eriksen story, here are two questions
1. Does your club grounds have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
2. If yes, has it been checked recently (battery OK, pads in date)?
