Partying in Pink: Our TEAth Parties for Sepsis Awareness Month
As part of our drive to evolve and continuously improve the quality of care, our homes are recognising Sepsis Awareness Month throughout September.
If you would like to learn and read more about Sepsis and how to prevent it, please visit our page on the risk of Sepsis in older age.
Through eLearning, events, quizzes, videos, webinars and supervisory sessions are teams, residents, their families and visitors have been becoming better informed on simple ways to help prevent infection which can lead to sepsis.
Our pink themed TEAth parties were a fun way to share a serious message about the importance of good oral hygiene to help reduce the risk of sepsis.

At St Catherines Care Home we decorated cookies at our TEAth party.
We had an afternoon sing-along at Riverside Court Care Home with plenty of delicious treats. It was a great chance to socialise with other residents whilst raising awareness.
Team members and residents alike got stuck into our colouring session at Maple Lodge Care Home, which we followed with a quiz! It was a great way to raise awareness for sepsis.
There were plenty of smiles and a lot of laughter at our party at Ashbourne Court Care Home! Before a talk on oral healthcare, we decorated biscuits while all wearing pink.
