Things I keep in my handbag for hospital days and stays. These live in there all the time, so I never have to scramble when things change fast.

* A small A5 notebook and pen

* A three-port, long two-metre charger& plug.

* A good book

* A tiny toiletry and med kit with shampoo, deodorant, perfume, moisturiser, wipes, skin care oils and basic meds

* Tissues, always needed

* A pocket atomiser to help with the dry hospital air

* Robinsons Squeezy Squash

* Sugar free electrolyte tablets

* Nurofen for those early morning headaches

* A migraine cooling patch

Everything here fits in two small clear pencil cases in my handbag. It means I am ready for the unexpected. These small things have saved me more than once.

What would you add?

Most of you already know that we spend a lot of time in hospitals. Over the years, I have learned that being organised does not make the days easier, but it can make them less chaotic.

I have been thinking a lot about the small things that help us through the long waits, last-minute admissions and the nights on those fab NHS plastic chairs. I want to start sharing more of that.

What is the one thing you always take with you to hospital appointments?

What's the one thing you wish you'd known to take with you?

Miles Ignatius (The Unknown Soldier) I am he for

Miles Ignatius (The Unknown Soldier)

I am he for whom these ceremonies be,
The concentrated epitome of all those who died on land or sea.
Son to each mute mourning mother,
Husband to each widowed wife.
To all sisters, their dead brother,
For you who live, I gave my life
Freely,
Contently,
Proud to be...
Miles Ignatius
