What a weekend for the team at MERTS! We loved working at Parc-Y-Scarletts, Llanelli for the Full Send South Wales Sim once again.

There are plenty of photos to come - this is just a big thank you to the event organisers and venue who both 💚.

We're in no rush to make a 'quick buck', and we will not cut corners at MERTS. We live up to and deliver on our core values on every job, which are Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence.

We'd like to wish all of our patients from this weekend a speedy recovery, and we welcome feedback on the service that you may have received 🙏.

This is the heartbreaking reality of drugs.

As is usually the case, the hurt, the anger, the helplessness, the guilt and shame are felt most and for the longest by those who are left behind. Those who 'survive' but continue to suffer fron the cruelty of watching a loved one battle with addiction.

DONT DO DRUGS.

"I said she's going to die, I told everybody she was going to die and now here we are and she's dead."

These are the desperate words of a mother to the 999 operator, as she checked on her daughter and found her cold. Izzy, pictured here, was only 22.

Unbeknownst to her mother Ann, Izzy had started taking ketamine during the Covid lockdowns when she relocated to live with her boyfriend. By late 2023, Ann found out as the addiction became so "out of control" that she could no longer hide it.

What came next for Ann was 18 months of fighting to secure help for her child, who had lost all confidence in doctors. At an inquest, she described one encounter with a neurologist, whose behaviour toward Izzy she describes as "vile". She believes health officials could have done more and "missed opportunities".

At the same time, Ann was trying to protect her daughter from the supply as she managed to obtain ketamine in hospital. She recalls following her outside, trying to 'get the number plate of whoever was supplying her sick child with ketamine'.

By the end, Izzy was suffering in chronic pain with a severely damaged bladder as a result of her addiction. Two days before she passed, she discharged herself from hospital.

Ann pleaded with her to let her call an ambulance for more help, but she said 'no more hospitals mum, I can't do it anymore'. She knew she was dying and wanted to be at home.

Ann said: "I have saved a lot of lives in my career, both as a nurse and flight attendant, but ultimately I couldn't save my daughter."

Our thoughts are with everyone who loved Izzy as an inquest continues, hearing tough details.

Rest in peace, Isabelle Sapherson-Moralee.

Today, we mark a significant and deeply moving milestone.

2wish has now supported over 10,000 people affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young person.

While this number reflects the heartbreaking reality of the need for our services, it also represents something incredibly powerful – thousands of families who have not had to face their grief alone.

Since 2012, we have been there to provide immediate and ongoing support, working closely with NHS, police and emergency services to ensure families receive the care they need at the most devastating times. This would not be possible without our incredible supporters, partners, volunteers and fundraisers.

We also want to thank all staff, volunteers and supporters past and present for making this milestone possible. Thank you for standing with us and helping us be there when it matters most.
