Nutritionist Resource

A link to this site has been added on the UK Organisations page

The purpose of the Nutritionist Resource site is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge nutrition support network, enabling those in need to find a nutritionist close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will provide those seeking support with all the information they need.

Every nutritionist on the site who has submitted their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover, or is registered with a professional body with recognised codes of ethics and practice, this way the Nutritionist Resource team can be assured of their professionalism.

Counselling Service

www.counselling-directory.org.uk

The purpose of this website is ultimately to provide the UK with a huge counselling support network, enabling those in distress to find a counsellor close to them and appropriate for their needs. This is a free, confidential service that will hopefully encourage those in distress to seek help. The website also contains a number of sections on emotional disorders (types of distress section) and provides some useful statistics. Every counsellor on the site who has submitted their profile has either sent a copy of their qualifications and insurance cover to us, or is registered with a professional body online with recognised codes of ethics and practice, this way we can be assured of their professionalism.

Insurance

If you are looking for Insurance this site may be worth a look.  Feedback suggests it seems to be one of the cheapest.  http://www.insurancewith.com/  

Lewis receiving his Ipod

Lewis suffered a cardiac arrest at home and as a result developed Tracheal Stenosis and had to have a tracheostomy performed, as a result of this he is unable to talk. SACHD presented Lewis with an Ipod with Talk Assist downloaded on it. This facility allows him to type in what he wants to say and it speaks the words for him.

Understanding Your Child's Heart - New BHF CHD Publications

Working closely with paediatric cardiologists, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has just produced the first six booklets of a new series, Understanding your child’s heart, for the parents and families of babies and young children with congenital heart disease.

Each booklet:

• discusses the way the normal heart works and explains congenital heart disease

• explains a particular congenital heart condition, its diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment

• gives information on coping and contacts for additional support.

Further booklets will become available throughout 2009 and early 2010. For more information on these booklets or the British Heart Foundation, please go to bhf.org.uk

The first six booklets:
• Aortic stenosis
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Large ventricular septal defect
• Pulmonary stenosis
• Tetralogy of Fallot
• Transposition of the great arteries

To download or order your free copies of the booklets and to order your display rack (suggested donation £20), please go directly to the Publication section on the BHF website, email orderline@bhf.org.uk or phone the BHF Orderline on 0870 600 6566.
