Many of us have heard of Sepsis but many of us don't know what it is. In 2024 there were over 12,000 cases of Sepsis in Ireland. The NHS in England have a long standing campaign for patients and their families to ask 'Is it sepsis?' So it's important to know the signs.

Our friends in North East Sepsis Awareness are coming to the Carrickmacross Library to deliver what promises to be an illuminating talk about the condition. All are welcome to attend.

We don’t get enough vitamin D from winter sunlight in Ireland, so a daily supplement is advised from Halloween to St. Patrick’s Day. Older adults and pregnant women should take a supplement all year round. Consult with your pharmacist or healthcare professional to find the correct dosage for you.

On this week’s HSE Talking Health & Wellbeing Podcast, we return to the HSE Balancing Stress programme and explore sessions 4–6 supporting low mood, managing stress in relationships, and building resilience for the future.

We talk about the difference between low mood and depression, and share practical steps like planning small, enjoyable and meaningful activities and the value of routine when motivation is low. We hear about simple relationship focused tools, including guided meditation for positive relationships, plus strategies from positive psychology such as gratitude, kindness and positive affirmations.

HSE Balancing Stress is a free flexible programme designed to fit busy lives, allowing people to move through sessions at a pace that suits them.
