Last weekend, a record-breaking 98 structures illuminated pink across Canada for World Sepsis Day! Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, these illuminations stood as a visual reminder of the impact of sepsis across all of Canada.

Any infection has the potential to turn into sepsis if it spreads into the bloodstream. Because every minute counts, it’s vital to know the symptoms. Amalie is back to walk you through the warning signs and urges anyone who suspects sepsis to go to the emergency department right away.

🌍 At #WCICC2025 tomorrow! Action on Sepsis member Prof. Niranjan 'Tex' Kissoon will share insights in his session: "A Moonshot for Sepsis: Improving Outcomes", moderated by Sheila Myatra.

From sharing her journey as a sepsis survivor to performing on stage, our Patient Advisory Council member, Shannon McKenney, is bringing her voice to #WCICC2025. She’s presenting today and performing at Friday’s closing ceremony! Learn more about Shannon: shannonmckenney.com

This World Sepsis Day, 98 structures will illuminate pink across Canada to raise awareness of sepsis! Not only does this break 2024’s record, but this year will also see the first illumination in one of Canada’s 3 territories. A key moment in raising awareness in the North.

Thank you to the governments of Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon for officially proclaiming World Sepsis Day 2025. This stands as a critical contribution to raising awareness of sepsis throughout Canada!

Meet Amalie. Two years ago, Amalie lost all four limbs to sepsis and has since dedicated her life to sepsis awareness and education. #SepsisAwarenessMonth #WorldSepsisDay #SepsisAwareness #Sepsis

Remember the acronym S.E.P.S.I.S. if you ever believe you or somebody else might have sepsis: S: Skin colour changes E: Extreme fever and shivering P: Pain, severe and unrelenting S: Slurring of words I: Increased heart and breathing rate S: Stoppage or reduced urination

"Canada doesn't have a national plan on sepsis. Researchers say that needs to change." Dr. Kali Barrett and I spoke with CBC to highlight upcoming work (to be published soon), revealing key gaps in sepsis policies, guidelines, and health professional training standards. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Do you know what sepsis is? 🗨️ Leave a comment saying what you have heard about sepsis. 👇 For those unsure, sepsis as a life-threatening condition that happens when the body’s immune system has an extreme response to an infection, causing organ dysfunction. 🧵...
