My first post on here and I couldn't be happier it's about this.

Dan and his team have been brilliant to work with.

This programme could not be better timed, or more important.
Really pleased to say I am
presenting an ITV programme on hospice and end of life care.

Since my mum received hospice care a decade ago I’ve been investigating the state of the sector and its lack of funding.

Keeping Care Alive: Hospices in Crisis? will air on ITV, 8:30pm, Thursday 28th November
