Shownotes

Meningitis can be life-changing, even if it’s diagnosed and treated correctly. But if there’s a delay in spotting the signs and symptoms, the effects can be devastating.

To mark World Meningitis Day, our medical negligence expert, Ania Bean, hosts our latest podcast to discuss the critical importance of early diagnosis.

She is joined by our client, Abigail Hull, who shares the tragic story of her seven-month-old son, Oli, who lost his life to meningitis. Mark Jefferies, the corporate partnerships manager from Meningitis Now also joins the discussion.

During the podcast, Abigail shares the impact this loss has had on her and her family. Together, they discuss the misconceptions surrounding the infection, emphasise the importance of seeking legal advice, and highlight the vital work of Meningitis Now in supporting those affected.
