Chrissi Kelly is the first patient in the UK to receive the treatment.

She lost her sense of smell after developing sinusitis in 2012 .

The only help she could find was research that suggested she could retrain her sense by inhaling known smells such as coffee and lavender.

Stanford University study suggests PRP might help regenerate nerves.

“When I step out of the house in the morning, I will recognise that I'm getting some kind of feedback on what the time of year is and that sort of thing. It’s not always easy for me to say I smell something specific, but I’m always aware of that. “And the other day , I stepped out of my house, and I'm thinking to myself, Oh gosh, that smells good. And it was. That smells like winter -flowering jasmine.”.
