Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has organised a conference next month to raise awareness of the dangers and symptoms of the life-threatening condition.

Sepsis can be triggered by an infection in any part of the body and at least 50 patients suffering from it are seen by the Hull and East Yorkshire trust every month.

One of the guest speakers at the conference will be Olivia Young, who contracted sepsis a year ago and who says she's still recovering.

She says: "The effects last much longer than you'd think. I think I thought I'd be back to normal after a few weeks, but even now I get lethargic and when I'm I'll, I'm quite severely ill."

The loss was Huddersfield's joint heaviest defeat of life in the Premier League, conceding six goals for the first time.

Jon Stankovic's first half goal on his top flight debut was the only positive the Terriers could take away from clash.

Huddersfield manager Wagner (pictured) says: "We faced a City side absolutely on it. They were a different class and we were second best and that is why we conceded this defeat.

"We hoped for more out of the last two games but we didn't expect more. This means nothing more than we get these two games out of our head now and focus on the next one."
