@StevenShorrock Also crucial, I think, is the immediacy of feedback.

What I’ve learnt from the last month of seeing 100s of children with cough/sore/throat and fever etc? As a society we need to do better at normalising minor illness & high temperature. The current comms & messaging isn’t working. When it is ok & when parents should worry #teamGP

@AbbieSBrooks Parents are expected to triage their own children (eg calpol, call GP, 111?) often with v.few tools to help them make those decisions. What is important is that when told “it’s just a virus” etc there is adequate safety-netting, so parents understand what ”worse”looks like.

I’m on call tonight. We’re seeing quite a number of prev. healthy people crushingly sick with #sepsis with a Streptococcal pneumonia on a background of ‘flu-like illness or ‘flu itself. PLEASE know the symptoms and if you have one with infection symptoms go STRAIGHT to A&E!!!

Sam loved his red welly boots - we still have them in the porch beside our shoes. I'm glad they are there. #3years8months11days #sepsis

If a parent/carer heed Sue’s words. Nearly always, when sepsis is missed, parents know something’s wrong but can’t describe it. If you’re ONLY worried about the fever, cough or sore throat unlikely something seriously wrong Your child not recovering normally is the red flag.

Sam had flu, contracted an invasive Strep A infection and died of #sepsis We knew he was unusually unwell, we saw that he wasn't perking up after calpol like he normally would but we'd never heard of #sepsis & didn't know how fast & deadly it was. theguardian.com/healthcare-net…

@Damian_Roland I’ll look at this with Sue once our youngest is asleep. In the meantime, thank you for what you are doing.

@BBCFergusWalsh Out of curiosity… why no mention of sepsis?

@Damian_Roland Thank you. The ‘strep’ messaging in todays news seems confusing to me. Parents can’t do much with it, bar feeling more anxious. Sepsis on the other hand! 12 years after Sam died, I can’t believe it’s still necessary to call for a “Spotting the Sick Child” campaign - but it is!

Well it’s 12 years too late for us…but how can we make it happen now, for others, before it’s too late?

Dr. Ron Daniels BEM @SepsisUK

@morrish_scott Fully agree, Scott. Time to reinvigorate public awareness around #sepsis as a matter of urgency.

@SepsisUK Mainstream media, yes. And NHS. And government. Protect children, reduce anxiety where it’s not needed (and therefore reduce unnecessary demands on overstretched NHS) and be better able to spot the really sick children that need medical help. Surely it’s a win win situation?
