Wounds UK Podcast: When the specialist becomes a patient

In this episode, Professor Karen Ousey speaks with tissue viability nurse consultant Joy Tickle, who reflects on her 27‑year career in wound care and her recent experience of becoming a patient.

Joy offers an honest account of the emotional and psychological impact of this transition - including identity loss, guilt and vulnerability - and highlights why clear, accessible communication is essential for supporting patients effectively.

Her insights reinforce the importance of empathy, patient‑centred practice and understanding the lived experience of those we care for.
