On Wednesday the 2nd November 2016 I took part in the DNA of Care event in London. It was an event organised by NHS England to share the digital stories that have been created by participants on the digital story telling workshops run by Pip Hardy and Tony Sumner.
When I was invited to take part on the workshop during the summer of 2016 I couldn’t see how I was going to relate dealing with the realisation and grief that I would not have children to my role as a manager in the NHS. Working with Pip, Tony and Jo as well as the others who participated on my workshop really help me to make sense of my journey and helped to make my story whole. Instead of Yvonne the ‘robot’ manager I was allowed to be Yvonne the manager who had to manage, silently, through her hard times. I could finally be me!
