Meet the Team

Kirsty (MacLean) Glynn - Founder

"When I worked on the wards, I often saw people struggle with regular clothing and hospital gowns, but the catalyst came when I was looking after my son. I had to wait for nurses to disconnect his IVs just to get him changed. It was time consuming and I remember thinking: if only his clothing unclipped over the lines, it would make life easier for him, free up busy nurses, and maintain the integrity of IV lines."

I wanted to rethink what patients could wear during care and recovery altogether.

The result is clothing that offers discreet and dignified access for IV lines, stoma care, catheter care and wound care, while promoting independence and facilitating mobility."

Kirsty was a Clinical Nurse Specialist in the NHS. She has worked in Medicine, Surgery, Palliative care & Mental Health

Jenny Bennett - Assistant

"Going through stage 4 bowel cancer with my sister, all she wanted was to wear men's pyjamas as they were simply more accommodating to her constantly changing body shape. The hospital gown used to ride up and felt tight around her neck, and whenever it wasn't covered by the bed covers, she felt exposed.

In pyjamas, she felt more covered while being up and about. If only Well Cool had been around at the time, I know these products would have made a massive difference to her, and to lots of other people in the same position."

Jenny helps out at Well Cool alongside her other job at Edlesborough Practice Surgery.

Dr Lee Mitchell - Medical Advisor

"It is such a great pleasure to become an advisor for this amazing organisation. I am passionate about patient care and dignity and the line of clothing from Well Cool not only looks stylish and fun but is practical to help people with specific medical needs and manage their conditions/illnesses in comfort. I am fully committed in supporting and advising Well Cool to help progress their vision to provide high quality, comfortable and practical clothing for people with medical needs."

Lee is a Senior Partner working across two NHS GP Surgeries.

Svetlana Kostova - Machinist Extraordinaire
