In another special episode talking about body donation, myself and Professor Paul Rea speak with the daughter of one of our donors who was recieved by The University of Glasgow. In this one, we have a lovely chat with Anne Hempstock, who very generously talks us through the feelings and emotions within the family when a loved one chooses to donate their body for the purposes of research, education and training after their death. Anne explains how her mum was known to many as 'Wee Susie, and that she knew her own mind and exactly what she wanted to do once she passed. This provoked a lot of conversations amongst her family which she shares with us here. Anne tells us the heartfelt story of how proud her mum would have been of her, to know that she had contributed to this podcast, and that she able to tell her mum's story and raise the profile of body donation across Scotland.
