Northeast Sepsis Awareness launches support evening and awareness campaign
Northeast Sepsis Awareness, a volunteer organisation established by Hannah Tormi and Katrina Flanagan following their own encounters with the condition, is launching a dedicated support evening and awareness drive in County Cavan.
The group, which also includes bereaved families affected by sepsis, will host a support event on Thursday, March 5th at 7pm at Hotel Kinmore. The evening will feature four guest speakers with relevant expertise: an oncology nurse, a pharmacist, a mental health professional, and a sepsis survivor. The event aims to educate attendees on recognising sepsis symptoms and understanding the importance of rapid response to potential cases.
Alongside the support evening, Northeast Sepsis Awareness is promoting an awareness campaign centred on a song created by young musician Clara Carlin. The composition carries the message "Act fast, save lives," reflecting the critical nature of timely intervention in sepsis cases.
The initiative represents a grassroots effort to increase public understanding of sepsis, a life-threatening condition that requires swift medical attention. By combining personal testimony, professional expertise, and creative outreach through music, the group hopes to equip community members with knowledge that could prove lifesaving.
