A big shout-out to all @GenrYPAGs, especially our local @YPSGWMids who've been an asset and a great partner in research 'for young people by young people'! Look them up here: generationr.org.uk/ @NIHRresearch @NIHRcommunity @HealthEcon_WMS

We are back for 2024, and we look forward to all getting together tomorrow, to look at an interesting research project about the value of YP's time, an important topic, especially at the start of mental health week.

Today is #WorldSepsisDay. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection. It happens when the immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage the bodyโ€™s own tissues and organs. It can be hard to spot, so get clued up on the symptoms. โคต๏ธ
