What's It Really Like?
In this series of podcasts, we explore the lives of children who are life-limited or have complex medical needs. We wish for vulnerable children and their families to feel heard. We hope that it will have a global reach. It is where people will chat with me, Sharon Thompson. The purpose is to comfort those who need it and to educate and connect our community with medical professionals and organisations who need to hear What’s It Really Like to Care for An Extra Special Child.
