The challenges of living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
06/04/24 • 34 min
Welcome to our new podcast, Wound Care Matters! On our first episode, we are discussing the chronic skin condition known as Hidradenitis Suppurativa with special guest Suzanne Moloney. Suzanne is a Hidradenitis Suppurativa patient advocate, founder of the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Trust in Ireland and also Founder and CEO of HidraWear, wearable wound care system.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa, also known as HS, is a painful and debilitating skin condition that causes inflamed, painful lumps to form in areas where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, and buttocks. It can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, both physically and emotionally.
In this episode, we will be diving into the challenges of living with HS, the importance of raising awareness about the condition, and the resources available to support those affected by it. We hope to provide valuable insights and information to help those with HS feel less alone and more empowered in managing their condition.
So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the world of Hidradenitis Suppurativa with Suzanne Moloney.

Welcome to our second Wound Care Matters episode where we will be discussing burns in children and the charity Scottish Burned Children’s Club (SBCC). I’m Sharon Gardner, Clinical Services Manager for Mediq UK and today I will be joined by three very special guests. Claire Gardiner, who is a Tissue Viability Nurse and Sharon Ramsay, who is a Burns Specialist Nurse. Claire and Sharon both specialise in Paediatric and Neonatal patient care. Our 3rd guest is Toni (surname), who has kindly agreed to share her own patient experience and is someone with whom Claire and Sharon have cared for when she was a burns patient. All my guests are involved in the Scottish Burned Children’s Club (SBCC) which we look forward to hearing all about. Stay tuned for an insightful and informative conversation as we discuss this important topic, both from a patient and clinician perspective.
