In this episode, our nurse and midwife Jane is joined by a special guest — one of our own patients, who has chosen to remain anonymous — to share her personal health journey.

Together, they explore what it felt like to experience ongoing health concerns that were dismissed, and the impact this had on her sense of self and wellbeing. The conversation follows her journey from feeling lost and unheard, to finding support through a more holistic approach to care.

Through addressing multiple health concerns, including menopause, she shares how being listened to, supported, and properly assessed helped her regain confidence in her health and reconnect with herself.

This episode highlights the importance of feeling heard in healthcare, advocating for your health, and the role of holistic, patient-centred care in supporting long-term wellbeing.
