Today is World Sepsis Day, and TPCH patient, Lisa, epitomises turning a potentially life-threatening diagnosis of Sepsis into a personal crusade, bringing hope to millions of people worldwide. 🦠

Lisa contracted Sepsis after suffering from a stroke at the age of 24, which resulted in her losing her left leg, numerous toes and fingertips, among other complications.

Despite the setbacks, Lisa now advocates for people with a disability, contributing her lived experience to grow Sepsis research with the Critical Care Research Group (CCRG) 🔬🧫

Professor John treated Lisa when she first arrived at TPCH 20 years ago and knows all about her sepsis journey and the impact it has had on her life.

"Lisa has lived through this experience and can explain how bad sepsis can be, and how it can present in a million different ways, " Professor John shares.

"There is no single symptom of sepsis. If you are over 18 and have an infection, signs you may have developed sepsis can include breathlessness, fast heartbeat, and changes in behaviour - among many more."

Today's readers are tomorrow's leaders, and the generous Redcliffe Hospital community has given them an extra boost. 🧑‍⚕️📖

The team at the hospital's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Unit encouraged the community to donate books as part of Indigenous Literacy Day, and were inundated with publications for all ages, that will be shared with children at the Koobara Kindy and Preschool in Taigum. 🚸

Proud Yidinji and Mamu woman Leicha works alongside Director of Facility Services Janene and other members of the Reconciliation Action Plan working group to develop initiatives like the book donation program.

👉 As well as initiating positive projects, Leicha's role as Indigenous Nurse Navigator ensures culturally and clinically appropriate care is provided for all of our identified patients. 

"Breaking down system barriers for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients helps them receive better education and access to their healthcare needs."

"These books will help little ones learn and grow, now and into the future."
