In 2015, I set up Nurse Ted Ltd with Kerry Hyde, a neuro-oncology nurse, to create a series of picture books to explain cancer and other serious illnesses to children. I created the Nurse Ted character to put children at ease and write and illustrate the Nurse Ted stories whilst Kerry produces factual information and advice at the end of the books for families who are coping with difficult diagnoses.
The book series is now used around the UK in hospitals, hospices and cancer support centres. Please visit our website www.nurseted.com for further information and reviews.
Recommended by Little Parachutes, The Brain Tumour Charity website, Brainstrust, and other Cancer Charities. Nurse Ted was chosen by ex Dragon Den's Theo Paphitis as an SBS winner and Jacqueline Gold as a Wow Winner.

We are proud to support Nurse Ted. Children whose parents are affected by a brain tumour can face a difficult and uncertain time and there has been a lack of information for them to help them understand what is happening. Nurse Ted will be a very helpful resource for families in future."

Nurse Ted is an excellent resource to help a carer mediate the diagnosis of a brain tumour with a child. There can be nothing more difficult than talking with a child about what it means to have a brain tumour. This book, with its beautiful illustrations and clarity of language, makes this less daunting. It's a gift to any adult who is living with this diagnosis."
