Cathriona Flanagan and Hannah Tormey also presented information at this week's Cavan Council meeting. Indeed, they emphasised that sepsis does not discriminate and can affect anyone of any age.
Furthermore, the video encourages people to know the symptoms of sepsis: slurring speech, new confusion, drowsiness, extreme shivering, muscle aches, fever, not passing urine in 12 hours, shortness of breath, blue lips, heart racing, dizziness, feeling like you're going to die and skin mottle/ discolour and a rash not blanching.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Hannah said that post sepsis care desperately needs support. Moreover, she said it was something that the two ladies would be highlighting with the health minister when they meet her next week.
