Kirsten O’ Brien, popular star of CBBC’s SMart, will present the programme entitled ‘Stories from Great Ormond Street’.
It will feature patients’ video diary accounts of living day to day with conditions including Birthmarks, Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anaemia and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (a speeding up or slowing down of the heart rate).

The making of the video diaries
The diaries were created to encourage teenagers to share their views about living with different conditions, to break down the ‘myths’ about a stay or visit to hospital, and to try and help reduce social stigmas associated with different illnesses. They were produced by the hospital’s Children First for Health website team, in conjunction with volunteers from the BBC’s Connect and Create project.
