'Stand by me' - A conversation with Canadian storytellers Sue Robins and Karen Klak
Good friends, Canadian authors and patient and family storytellers Sue Robins and Karen Klak join together in conversation, exploring their own healthcare journeys as the patient and family in a healthcare system that sometimes works with them, and sometimes does not.
We are delighted to share the news of Karen’s new book Happy Faces Only, a soon to be published memoir about the life of her daughter Haley.
A must read for any healthcare professional, caregiver or patient, check out Sue Robin’s book, ‘Birds Eye view – Stories of a life lived in healthcare’.

Di is joined by author, consultant and facilitator, Lucy Mayes.
