Thanks for sharing this Sam, really interesting to hear your story. This is amazing!
Thanks for sharing that, Daz. Very well put. Proud of you mate
He's a legend. ❤
Fairly pain free. You're kidding?! Never experienced anything as painful in my life!
Brilliant and informative 👏
You are a Star Beau. You are very kind, talented and creative... WOW FORUM will be Your Kingdom ❣️Mom will update you. Fashion Stars in the USA think and speak very highly of You... It's a tough old world, but Kindness is KING 👑 Love from us all 🤩💭
Interesting video, sadly my experiences of having a smear test are all focused around the first part of the video with a blase nurse stating that all women have to have this screening test, rushing through, dismissing my fears. There is also the lottery of not knowing if I will have to lay on one of those humiliating couches with stirrups or be wedged against a wall on a narrow couch. No wonder I opted out of cervical screening.
An informative video , my nurses bed is set against a wall..so I always struggled being comfortable, also lack of sheets..just given a piece of paper to cover which makes you feel exposed
Thank you for sharing your experiences
My name Melissa golby 11,2992 happy 😊 😃
a great idea. Well done.
Brilliant resource!
What a fabulous idea and how empowering for those with PTSD and suffering trauma too. They have a voice, are seen, heard and acknowledged.
As a mum of 2 boys with Sensory Processing Disorder, I am so grateful to you for making this video!!! Thank you and Seasons Greetings xxx
Great video
Thank you for everything you do in our community.
😂😂😂that is such rubbish and I know that because I went to that school and both of my brothers moved out of it because they didn’t teach them and they even stopped them from doing their sats because they were autistic and the school didn’t want their average marks to drop 😂😂
Lovely story and with a very happy ending

lol
great stuff! I'm researching into sarcopenia and found this video. I want to raise awareness of ways to combat sarcopenia and get people of all ages building muscle, it is NEVER too late! :)
This is the best video ever. Ever seen a better one
As a health care professional I think we should all strive to make our care PRICELESS ... Personalised Respectful Individualised Compassionate Effective Legal Equal Skilled Safe
A very powerful and upbeat video .... message its never too late to get active!
This reflects my experience of mental health provision both good and bad. I'm very grateful for the people in this video expressing their experience since it takes courage to do so. This gives service users a voice and gives professionals the opportunity to see things from our perspective. I hope that by giving us a voice improvements may be made in an often failing mental health service and that future service users will not have to go through the struggles I have experienced just to acquire something near adequate treatment for acute mental health disorders. Thank you Healthwatch Essex and all those who participated in this video. H
