When Jim Blair, The Nurse Consultant responsible for the care of everyone with a Learning Disability at Great Ormond Street Hospital asked me What Would I Wish For, this is what I said. The one single element of hospital care that would have made all the difference. We once met a wonderful Paediatric Consultant who I will never forget.
Thank you for visiting my blog. This was supposed to be about Breast cancer, and later, my stage 4 breast cancer, but then it became about much more. Healthcare in general, the challenges of parenting disabled children, and also documented the writing of my book, The Special Parent's Handbook. Hopefully you'll find something here that will resonate in some way with you, and if you'd like to read more, particuarly about special needs parenting, please visit my website http://yvonnenewbold.com/

A very sensitive, inspiring and down to earth piece Yvonne. I hope it will assist the many health professionals who don't address their patients and their families from a human perspective...to better understand what parents like you need most from the NHS.
