New parents to receive sepsis information

Wed, 05 Apr 2017

A leaflet on recognising sepsis will be including in the Personal Child Health Record.

New parents on the Island will be presented with a leaflet highlighting the signs of sepsis.

Manx charity Mannin Sepsis has raised funds for the information to be included in the Personal Child Health Record - also known as the Red Book.

The campaign has been run in memory of Ann Struthers, who died at the age of 18 after contracting sepsis in 2013.

The charity hopes the leaflet will encourage parents to think about the condition if their children become ill.
