Last week was World Sepsis Week, which was celebrated by the Trust with a series of events to promote awareness.

Over the week, there was a Sepsis van in the Health Academy car park at Royal Preston Hospital, supported by Rachel Lea from the Infection, Prevention and Control Nurse team, as well as a special fundraising effort for World Sepsis Awareness UK, with lunch in the Critical Care clinical skills room, sponsored by Joy’s Kitchen, Kashmir Watan Foods and Barkat Food Store.

On World Sepsis Day itself, there was a pop-up stand in Charters Restaurant at Royal Preston Hospital, with ‘Sepsis Champions’, a cake bake, raffle, quiz, and more, with all funds going to the UK Sepsis Trust, and over at Chorley and South Ribble Hospital the following day, there was a Sepsis Awareness session, with a walk round wards and areas to raise awareness.

During the week, Chorley Town Hall was lit up in red for Sepsis awareness.

Thanks go to the food outlets who supplied the curry lunch for free – with Leena Biju, Critical Care Outreach Practitioner, and Sonia Connell, Sepsis Lead Nurse, presenting them with a certificate of appreciation and some flowers.

Lauren Whalley, Critical Care Audit Facilitator, won the Guess the Bear's Name competition with 'Barnaby' and gave it to her beautiful daughter Thea (pictured).
