Episode 42: Sepsis

Mini First Aid Episode 42

When Anna’s little girl, Cleo, developed a high temperature, she did what so many of us would do - Calpol, cuddles, and wait and see. But what unfolded was every parent’s worst nightmare. Cleo had sepsis.

In this episode of the Family Health podcast, Anna bravely shares their story of missed signs, gut instinct, and the terrifying rollercoaster that followed. 

She opens up about how she and her husband had to fight to be heard, how Cleo’s life was saved, and why Anna is now on a mission to raise awareness as an ambassador for the Sepsis Trust.

This is an episode every parent, grandparent, and carer needs to hear. Knowing the signs of sepsis could save a life.
