What has been the key driver for #patientsafety change over the last 2 decades? I’d argue mostly it’s been patients & families who have pushed for change following tragic events - often at huge personal cost and against a system that hasn’t wanted to listen.

Who are the people…

“lack of repeated observations… lack of senior review, leading to lack of recognition of the seriousness of her condition…”

'Had intravenous fluids and antibiotics been provided in the morning, she would on balance have survived.”

Happy Heavenly 17th birthday
Forever 3 because of #sepsis

I remember when I joined Twitter, it was because I wanted to raise awareness of Sam’s story and #sepsis
However I dislike the new X branding so much I’m rarely on here anymore.

Another Mother’s Day without Sam.

Why #MarthasRule matters: 🧵

In September 2023, at one week old, our little baby boy presented with a high temperature but otherwise seemed well. We attended a local ED with the expectation that he’d receive a lumbar puncture and blood cultures.

We are delighted that Charlie Jones will give #AdsTalk2024 ‘Lessons will be learned' we always say. So why do failings in healthcare keep happening? Why don't we learn? How could we do things differently? chaired by Ruth Northway RN(LD) FRCN FLSW, FQNI

Sepsis carries a 5 times higher mortality than acute myocardial infarction & stroke.
Treat all patients presenting unwell with infection with a high index of suspicion for SEPSIS especially those who are immunocompromised, the very young, old & pregnant.
#RecogniseSepsis

For grievers, New Year can hit harder than Christmas.

The calendar pushing us farther in time from those we love.

Farther from seeing them, from hearing their voice.

The new date means they died ‘last year’ / 2 yrs / 10 yrs ago etc.

Breaks your heart a little bit more.💔

#DYK Sepsis doesn’t care if it’s the holiday season?

Tell someone about #sepsis , it could save a life.

I really hope this makes a difference as my own care in the last three months has been terrible.

Please read this account of what happened to James. #sepsis

This is shocking

“Goodnight sweetheart I love you”. The last words I would ever say to my son alive.

I went to bed that evening having been told William had a virus. I didn’t know he was dying.

I would do ANYTHING to turn back the clock. To not listen to them. To put him to bed 1 more time.

V. nearly didn’t phone GP today to ask about Ollie’s nasty cough. “There’s a lot of it around”. He seemed mostly ok in himself. Didn’t expect an appointment or that he would need strong antibiotics for a chest infection, inhaler, steroids..
Scary that I didn’t recognise it.
