Episode 6: Fiona Donald - SANDS - Supporting Parents After Baby Loss

The Hopes & Dreams Podcast

June 2021 is the charity Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death) Awareness Month, which aims to shine a light on the amazing work the charity does to reduce the number of babies dying and to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby in the UK receives the best possible care and support for as long as they need it.

To celebrate 'Sands Always There' campaign, Emma is joined by Sands Aberdeen volunteer Fiona Donald. Fiona talks about her own losses, as well as the incredible work she and Sands colleagues do to support parents after baby loss, and trying again. Fiona also talks to Emma about how Sands support healthcare professionals through training as well as the wonderful facilities NHS Grampian have for bereaved parents, including the future opening of a special bereavement suite.
