Today is #WorldSepsisDay. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection. It happens when the immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage the body’s own tissues and organs. It can be hard to spot, so get clued up on the symptoms. ‡️

Public Health studies have shown that Asian, Black and other ethnically diverse people are disproportionately affected by health inequalities, which is why it’s vital that they feel empowered to know the signs of #sepsis and ask health professionals, β€˜Could it be sepsis?’
