A young Renfrewshire woman who has fought life-threatening sepsis multiple times has warned others about the dangers of blood poisoning.
Nicola Murray - speaking during Sepsis Awareness Month - was diagnosed when she was just 19 years old on her first day in a new job as an apprentice nursery practitioner.
Sepsis is a potentially-deadly condition which takes the lives of more than 4,000 people in Scotland every year. It occurs when the body’s response to an infection spirals rapidly out of control, injuring its own tissues and organs, which can result in multiple organ failure and death.
