This time last week our head office team and AfPP Board members took part in our final Insights session!

Richard was super engaging in teaching us all about our personality types, making it all make sense as to why we act and react the way we do! The colours red, blue, yellow and green now have an entirely different meaning to us 😀

We learnt lots... we now have a super understanding of how to meet our own and each others working needs, as well as how to be the best team possible! 💪

🛎️ Melissa Mead: Sepsis Story ⬇️

Melissa’s passion for raising awareness of sepsis stems from personal tragedy after her one-year old son William succumbed to sepsis in December 2014. Sadly, William’s underlying pneumonia had been miss diagnosed as a viral infection and doctors failed to notice the signs of sepsis.

Rather than get angry, Melissa got active. Campaigning quite significantly over the last few years. With the UK Sepsis Trust, she has seen significant movements in the public’s knowledge of sepsis in addition to healthcare workers treating sepsis in a timelier fashion.

In 2018 Melissa was awarded an MBE for her work in raising awareness of sepsis.

We look forward to hearing Melissa's story, and we hope you are too.
