How to rebuild a life

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Wednesday, 22 October 2025 - 1 hour 11 minutes

How do you relearn and recover when your life changes in an instant? Helen finds out from adaptive athlete Henry Dunn, a Dubai-based coach who faced amputation after an accident.

She also meets a Dubai resident whose recent experience with a house fire has made her sound the alarm about fire safety at home – and we get expert advice on the extinguishers you need at home.

Surgeon Dr Veronica Grassi is on hand to talk us through reconstruction options after breast cancer.

Plus, it’s Pets & Vets day and we’re asking, why is animal care so expensive?
