What is Group B Strep?
It’s the leading cause of serious newborn infection in the UK, yet many parents have never heard of it.
Jane Plumb MBE from @GBSSupport shared her charity’s important work on our podcast with @SepsisUK last year.

Theo lived for just 17.5 hours before sadly dying of group B Strep (GBS). His mum, Jane Plumb, set up @GBSSupport to raise awareness of GBS - the leading cause of meningitis in babies under three months.
