Do you know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion?

Do you know where your nearest defibrillator is? As we've seen time and again, early use of AEDs really does save lives, so it's worth knowing where they are located in your community so that someone can quickly be sent to fetched it if someone goes into cardiac arrest, and while waiting for the emergency services to arrive.

This database allows you to type in your postcode and see where your nearest device is.

This site shows the position of all defibrillators registered via the NDDB, or via the Community Heartbeat Trust Governance database, WebNos. Data from WebNos is validated and dynamic and is updated daily, showing if the defibrillator is operational or not.

At least 48,000 people died in the UK due to sepsis last year, and The UK Sepsis Trust is urging organisations to raise awareness of the potential signs among their staff.

So what are the signs and symptoms?

In adults, it may feel like you have flu, gastroenteritis or a chest infection at first. Early symptoms include fever, chills and shivering, a fast heartbeat and quick breathing. Symptoms of sepsis or septic shock include feeling dizzy or faint, confusion or disorientation, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea and cold, clammy and pale or mottled skin.

Any child who is breathing very fast, has a ‘fit’ or convulsion, or looks mottled, bluish, or pale, or has a rash that does not fade when you press it, may have sepsis. Any baby or child under 5 years old who is not feeding, vomiting repeatedly or hasn’t had a wee or wet nappy for 12 hours, might have sepsis.

It’s really important to be aware of the signs of a stroke - and that it can also happen to children.

So what should you look out for?

Symptoms of a stroke in children can vary from a sudden severe headache, vertigo or dizziness that is new, to very sudden nausea, visual effects and others.

A stroke is a medical emergency, so it is important to dial 999.
