PSI Annual Conference Keynote Speaker - Vicky Phelan 

At the 2019 PSI Annual Conference in Kilkenny, Vicky Phelan gave an extremely moving and powerful keynote address entitled My personal experience of multiple traumas and the psychological impact on me and my family. She discussed how she and her family have dealt with not only her cancer diagnosis, but also her daughter's condition. In managing a cancer diagnosis or dealing with a sick child, Vicky outlined five things of importance:

• support from family and friends;
• support from medical professionals;
• access to a support group;
• psychological support;
• time.
