ALT Symptoms of meningitis develop suddenly and can include: a high temperature (fever), being sick, a headache, a rash that does not fade when a glass is rolled over it (but a rash will not always develop), a stiff neck, a dislike of bright lights, drowsiness or unresponsiveness, seizures (fits)
ALT Call 999 or go to your nearest A&E immediately if you think you or someone you look after could have meningitis or sepsis. Trust your instincts. Do not wait for all the symptoms to appear or until a rash develops. Someone with meningitis or sepsis can get a lot worse very quickly.

Inspired by working on #AskAboutAsthma this week. I live with Asthma, advocate for my son with Asthma and witnessed the very worst of Asthma in PICU. It feels close to home... but it should do...for all of us. 1 in 11 children! 1 death per month is 1 too many @SaraNelsonRGN
11 Sep 2025
The primary care webinar today provided the perfect round up to the weeks webinars and conference. Our primary care teams are at the forefront of Asthma management. Recognition, diagnosis, onward referral, management plans and follow-ups must all be robust #askaboutasthma
