🩺🌍 Today is World Sepsis Day 🌍🩺

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that happens when the body’s response to an infection goes into overdrive and starts damaging its own tissues and organs.

⚠️ Every 3 seconds, someone in the world dies from sepsis, yet with early recognition and treatment, lives can be saved.

👉 Signs of sepsis in adults:
• Slurred speech or confusion
• Extreme shivering, muscle pain or fever
• Passing no urine in a day
• Severe breathlessness
• “I feel like I might die”
• Skin mottled or discoloured

👉 Signs of sepsis in children:
• Very fast breathing
• A fit (seizure) or convulsion
• Looking mottled, bluish or pale
• Very lethargic or difficult to wake
• Abnormally cold to the touch
• Not feeding, vomiting repeatedly, or not passing urine

🚨 If you suspect sepsis, act fast. It’s a medical emergency.

💡 Remember: If in doubt, check it out.

💗 Raising awareness today could save a life tomorrow. Please share this post and help spread the word.

📢 Important Patient Notice

We have been made aware of a local internet issue in St Albans which is affecting our surgeries this morning. Unfortunately, this means we currently have no access to our clinical systems.

At present, our team are unable to view your records or make/cancel appointments. Please continue to attend your face-to-face appointments as usual. Telephone appointments may be delayed, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Our IT team are working hard on a workaround to restore access as soon as possible. We will provide updates here as the situation develops.

Thank you for bearing with us.

🩺 Know Your Numbers Week – Get to Know Your Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is often called the silent killer. It usually has no symptoms, yet it can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other serious health issues if left untreated.

That’s why this Know Your Numbers Week, we’re encouraging all our patients to check their blood pressure.

✅ Already have a home monitor? Take a reading this week and keep track of your results
🏥 Don’t have a monitor at home? No problem, all 3 of our surgeries have self-service blood pressure stations in the waiting rooms. They’re free to use, easy, and quick!
Early detection saves lives. High blood pressure often goes unnoticed until it causes real damage... let’s change that.

💙 The Lodge Health Partnership is here to support your long-term health, get to know your numbers and take control today.

Don’t let flu spoil their fun – protect your child with the free nasal spray flu vaccine 💉

This autumn 🍂, your little one has a superpower waiting for them – and it’s just a spray away!
All children aged 2 and 3 years are eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine, given as a quick, painless nasal spray. No needles, no fuss – just a powerful shield to help protect them from flu.

Flu isn’t just a cold in disguise – it’s a serious illness that can:
• Cause high fever, sore throat, cough and extreme tiredness
• Lead to chest or ear infections
• In some cases, result in hospital stays for young children 🏥

Young children are particularly vulnerable, but with the nasal spray vaccine, they can fight off flu and get back to being little superheroes 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️.

Why young children should have the nasal spray:
• Flu spreads quickly, especially among children who can pass it on to family and friends
• The nasal spray is safe, fast, and completely needle-free
• Having a child off nursery with flu can be disruptive for working parents

The flu virus changes every year, which is why children need the vaccine even if they had it last year. By vaccinating your child, you’re not just protecting them – you’re helping to protect the whole family, including grandparents, siblings, and others who are more vulnerable ❤️.

🎗️ Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honour the strength of children and families affected by cancer, and to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms.

While childhood cancers are rare, early detection can be life-saving. If you ever notice anything unusual, such as ongoing tiredness, lumps, unexplained bruising, or persistent illness, please submit an eConsult to speak with us.

At The Lodge Health Partnership, we’re here to listen, support and act. If your child is unwell and you’re concerned, never hesitate to reach out.

Together, we raise awareness, show support, and stand with every family facing the unimaginable.

💙 Urology Awareness Month

September is Urology Awareness Month, highlighting conditions related to the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and male/female urinary health.

Urological issues can be uncomfortable to talk about, but they are very common and early advice and treatment can make a real difference.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as:
✔️ Frequent urination
✔️ Blood in urine
✔️ Difficulty passing urine
✔️ Ongoing pelvic or back pain

Please don’t wait, submit an eConsult and speak to one of our clinicians. The Lodge Health Partnership is here to support you and your family with expert care and a listening ear.

📢 Government Emergency Alert – Sunday 7th September 📢

On Sunday 7th September, the government will send out a test emergency alert to mobile phones across the UK.

The alert will make a loud sound even if your phone is on silent.
This could put vulnerable individuals at risk if they have a hidden phone for safety.

💡 If you or someone you know has a phone that needs to stay hidden, please:
⚙️ Turn off emergency alerts in your phone settings before 7th September
📴 Or switch off the phone completely during the test

Please also alert elderly family and neighbours who may not know about the test that this will be happening to avoid any anxiety or worry around the message displayed or the reason for it.

Let’s help keep each other safe by sharing this information. Even a quiet reminder could protect someone from harm and worry. 💛
