In this episode of Nina’s Law: Let’s Talk Care, Nina shares the incredible support the campaign has received from across the UK. Messages from families, carers, and supporters are read out, each one highlighting why Nina’s Law is not just needed - it’s essential.

The episode explores why recognising carers as essential partners in hospital care is crucial to the healthcare system, benefiting not only patients and families but also easing pressure on NHS staff. Through real voices and lived experiences, this episode shows the growing momentum behind Nina’s Law and why change can’t wait.

A powerful reminder that when people come together, real change is possible.

In this episode of Nina’s Law: Let’s Talk Care, the focus turns to one crucial question: why should essential care depend on where you live?

Across the UK, some hospitals allow carers to stay with the person they support, while others don’t. This postcode lottery leaves disabled people and families facing uncertainty, distress, and avoidable pain. Nina explores why carers must be recognised as essential, not optional, in every hospital, not just a select few.

The conversation highlights the physical, emotional, and systemic consequences of excluding carers, and why a nationwide approach is the only fair and effective solution. This episode makes the case for consistency, dignity, and change, because care should never depend on chance.

This week, I’m joined by the lovely nurse Joanna, who talks openly about her wonderful daughter Poppy and what it’s really like caring for a child with complex needs. We discuss why care isn’t optional, it’s essential, and how Nina’s Law would hugely benefit the NHS by freeing up staff and allowing carers to continue caring during hospital visits.

It’s a powerful episode and definitely one to listen to.
