It's World Sepsis Day!
Sepsis is a common cause of death in the general population but for people with a learning disability it is the third most common cause of death.
People with learning disabilities have more comorbid health conditions which may make the long-term effects of sepsis worse.
Make sure you are aware of the signs and symptoms:

You can be done in under a minute every day with our September positive thoughts journaling. This simple activity is all about perspective.

Just finish each sentence in a positive way. That’s all you have to do. Keep the calendar, some paper, and a pen on your nightstand, and make it the first thing you do every morning.

Perspective can change our outlook on an idea day. Even on long, tiring days, by looking for the positives, we can bring positivity, joy, and optimism to our days.

We hope you find this type of journaling really useful.

People with learning disabilities (LD) face severe health inequalities and risk dying up to 20 years earlier than the general population, often from avoidable causes. Find out more about a small team at our Trust making a big impact on tackling these health inequalities by working collaboratively with partners across the local health and care system.

We all have the power to make someone’s day a little brighter. A thoughtful message, a helping hand or a moment of real listening make a bigger difference than we realise. And caring for others does us good too 💞
