The Confident Patient Project’s first collaboration and, boy, is it a good one!

Starlight Children’s Foundation are the UK’s leading charity working to put play at the heart of every child’s healthcare.

They have developed a new way of supporting families; offering free online, small group sessions for parents and carers. Each session will focus on a different topic- first up: vaccinations. Working alongside other registered, qualified health play specialists, I will share my hints, tips and experiences of supporting children and young people for upcoming vaccinations.

I first came into contact with Starlight when I was working as a health play specialist in the NHS and then through my role as a trustee with The Society of Health Play Specialists. In 2023, I spent a year consulting on the Play Well Toolkit, writing the standards and designing the audit tool along with an amazing taskforce of multi-disciplinary professionals - all of which was published by NHS England this summer!

Fast forward a year and Starlight have invited me to work with them again, and I couldn’t be more exicted!

Last week my son’s teacher approached me to tell me he had been complaining of a sore arm. He had told her it had started that weekend (first I’d heard of it!) and that he had mentioned it a couple of times throughout the day.

Now, my son doesn’t complain of pain, so I took him seriously. Some children do complain of something hurting on a regular basis. My advice is always the same- take them seriously.

Why? Because they are trying to communicate something to you.

My son’s ‘pain’ lasted, on and off, for 2 more days. Was it coincidence that he’s still getting used to a new school year? Who knows! But whether he was genuinely in physical pain, or not, here’s what I do.

Does your child complain of pain often? What do you do?

This was me last week…
Tell me; where would your mind go?

Honestly, I think I had a mixture of all of these! Working in hospitals for nearly 15 years you are surrounded by ‘worst case scenarios’ so it’s hard not to let those intrusive thoughts linger.

Am I alone in this? Tell me in the poll x
