🚨 Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the immune system overreacting to an infection or injury. Knowing the symptoms can save lives.

A child may have sepsis if they are:
· Breathing very fast
· Have a ‘fit’ or convulsion
· Look mottled, bluish, or very pale
· Have a rash that does not fade when you press it
· Are very lethargic or difficult to wake
· Feel abnormally cold to touch

In adults, look out for:
· Slurred speech or confusion
· Extreme shivering or muscle pain
· Passing no urine (in a day)
· Severe breathlessness
· It feels like you’re going to die
· Skin mottled or discoloured

⚠️ Suspect sepsis? Act fast. Seek medical help immediately. Call 999 or head to the Emergency Department at Grange University Hospital.

If you’re worried about an infection but don’t suspect sepsis, call 111.

Did you know around £9.6 million is wasted every year in Gwent on unused or unnecessary repeat prescriptions? That’s money, medicines, and care going to waste and we need your help to change that.

Staying Well: Medicines can expire and may not work as they should. Stockpiling can lead to drug shortages, putting others at risk.
Staying Safe: Unused meds at home are a danger to children and pets. They’re prescribed just for you, never share them.
Staying Green: Once medicines leave the pharmacy, they can’t be reused. Hand unused meds back to your pharmacy and help protect our environment

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Check what you already have before ordering more.
✅ Open your prescription bag at the pharmacy and return anything you don’t need before leaving.
✅ Talk to your pharmacy team if your meds have changed or you're not taking something anymore.

Together, we can cut waste, protect our environment, and keep Gwent healthy.

Only order what you need 👉 https://orlo.uk/evBmk
