Hi - I volunteer in Kings and was with a patient today who is very sick and has lost her sight. I wondered if anyone has a small radio or talking book ??? I don't know how they work so I'm open to suggestions. The patient is quite religous so she could listen to a religous radio station. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi Topbanana


Thank you so much for your kindness, I think the most useful thing would be a personal radio, it would have to have simple controls as the patient is not used to blindness, I would also be happy to put money towards something, I've organised a speaking clock - hopefully that will also be useful.

Have a read of this about the Stream BookSense and let me know your thoughts. It has a speaking clock built in already.

I am in that part of town on Friday so can get one if the RNIB have one in stock. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Top Banana by name, Top Banana by nature. Lovely act of kindness. Top stuff TB. And you Hilili. Seems to be some good things going on at the moment via the EDF.


I'll do my bit for the local economy in the Xmas build up and purchase most of my Guiness and associated beverages on Lordship Lane.


Barry!

    • I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff.    The research aims to understand:   How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and  asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed   The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle.  I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma
