Support in Milton Keynes

[Maryanne29]

My request for a pump was approved today so now waiting to go through the process of getting and starting to use a pump. I'm wondering is there a support group for pumpers in the Milton Keynes area?🙂

I'm not aware of one Maryanne. Pumpers are pretty rare creatures, so it's unlikely much in the way of support organisations will exist except perhaps in some of the larger cities. Perhaps the INPUT website people could let you know?

Congratulations on getting the approval!

Well you have a support group right here! LOL We meet a lot more frequently than most support groups !

Thank you

True, this is probably the best support group and I'm sure I'm going to be picking your brains a great deal in the future. 🙂

That's great news Maryanne 🙂
We go to MK hospital, but although my son has been offered a pump he isn't keen at the moment. Happy to chat though
We live in Buckingham which is on the border between MK and Stoke Mandeville hospitals. I think Stoke has quite a few pumpers (more than MK definitely) so maybe worth contacting them to see if you can hook up with anyone?
