🚨 New Sepsis Risk Assessment Tool Launch 🚨
Sepsis – a condition where the body overreacts to infections – is both tough to spot and can be deadly. That’s why health experts have introduced a ground-breaking online tool to help you evaluate your risk or that of a loved one! 🌟
Created by the UK Sepsis Trust and HealthHero, this tool is a game-changer. Simply answer a few questions about your symptoms, and you’ll receive personalised advice in no time. No medical degree needed!
Based on the assessment:
🟢 Low Risk? Learn what symptoms to monitor.
🟡 Moderate Risk? It’s time to call your doctor or dial 111.
🔴 High Risk? Seek immediate help through 999 or head straight to A&E.
Dr Ron Daniels, the visionary behind the UK Sepsis Trust, assures us that this tool is set to provide global empowerment, with easy-to-understand guidance rooted in medical expertise. Whether you’re a parent, carer, or partner, having this tool at your fingertips allows you to ask the critical question, “Could this be sepsis?”
Dr Amina Hersi of HealthHero shares a deeply personal reason for backing this tool: “In 2023, I lost my mother to sepsis due to a wrongly completed assessment. This tool would have empowered us to act sooner, and maybe avoid such pain.”
Every minute counts with sepsis, and the convenience of this tool means families can quickly check their concerns using just a phone. It has the potential to save lives by giving timely, life-saving advice right when you need it most. ⏰❤️
Actor and UK Sepsis Trust ambassador Jason Watkins, who tragically lost his daughter Maude to sepsis, deeply supports this initiative. He paints a powerful picture of the importance of awareness: “Asking ‘could it be sepsis?’ could save thousands of lives.”
Stay informed and take control of your health with this essential tool! 👍🔎
