Evan

I was born in 2008

I have had all sorts of tests in hospital, like MRI scans, heart tracers and blood tests.

In my spare time I enjoy gaming and coding.

I am part of the Advisory Board as I think information to young people coming to hospital needs to be better. I like seeing the games develop and being involved in making them as good as possible.

Emmie

I was born in 2009.

I've spent lots of time in hospital. I was treated in Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in 2017 - 2019 for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

In my spare time I enjoy make up and beauty and travelling to new and interesting places .

I have been part of the Xploro Advisory Board since 2018, I enjoy improving hospital stays for other children and young people. I like that Xploro values mine and the other expert advisors' opinions.

Lottie

I was born in 2005.

I have Hydrocephalus and have had 6 hospital stays, 5 of which were for operations, over the last 2 years.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my dogs, crocheting and baking.

I am a part of the Advisory Board because I know how difficult it is to be in hospital. Staying on a paediatric ward, I witnessed children of all ages in many different circumstances. Xploro helps children to understand what is happening which eases their fears and helps to make the experience more manageable. I enjoy being able to help in any way as I know it will make a difference to other people's experiences in hospital.

Charlotte

I was born in 2016.

When I was three, I went into hospital because I kept getting really bad headaches. The doctors tried to put me in a machine to take pictures of the inside of my head but I really, really didn’t like it! In the end they had to put me to sleep so they could take a picture of the inside of my head in something called an MRI machine. I also had an EEG and blood tests. Luckily after the doctors gave me some medicine, I was fine and I don’t get headaches anymore.

I love going to water-parks, theme parks and parties and playing with my cat Samson and my hamster Stripey.

I wanted to be an Xploro Expert Advisory Board member to help other children like me.

Harriett

I was born in 2016.

I went into hospital because I had a poorly tummy and I went in a machine so the doctors could take a picture of the inside of my tummy. I also had a blood test.

I love spending time with my friends and family and going to theme parks, swimming and gymnastics.

I love being a member of the Xploro Expert Advisory Board so I can help other children like me who have to go into hospital for tests.
