Day in, day out despite the huge pressure on the NHS, healthcare professionals change patients’ lives.

In a recent interview, journalist and broadcaster Nick Robinson spoke of how grateful he was to the speech and language therapist who helped him get his voice back after his vocal cord was damaged in an operation to remove a lung tumour.

As well as benefitting from her professional knowhow, Robinson said she was a huge emotional support and went above and beyond to help him recover, being there to listen to his fears as well as directing him while on air.

At this time of giving and as the new year approaches, we want to highlight the work that, day in and day out, healthcare professionals do.

Has your life been touched by a healthcare professional? Do you remember one who helped in some special way? What was it about them that you remember? How much did it mean to you? What would you say to them if you had the chance?
