I am SO pleased to finally put this episode up on my Podcast! 


I recorded these episodes with Mr O'Neill (who I actually call Dr Tom the whole way through this episode *embarrassed face!*) in 2021.  I asked Mr O'Neill everything from defining a cleft lip, pre-assessments, how surgery is performed to his top tip for cleft parents.  This was an honest, insightful and heartwarming episode - it was more than I could have hoped for.


This episode will be perfect for newly diagnosed parents, those due surgery to Healthcare Professionals who work with the Cleft Community.  I would love to hear any thoughts on this episode, so please DM me on Instagram if you get chance! @dontgetlippyuk.


Our next episode is already ready to go too, so it won't be long til you hear from me again!
