This is part of a whole Sepsis walkway with have developed in the main corridor of the hospital. It features the signs for adults too, a patient story and lots of great images. Take a look when you’re next visiting.
Found this on the wall of a hospital - it’s great to see so many of them taking sepsis seriously
If you don’t know the signs of sepsis, please take a second to look at this and RT so others can too - it just might save the life of someone you love
