Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

I am struck again by the humanity and absolute lack of spin/PR in these podcasts - so refreshing. The power of stories putting the person at the centre to achieve the right care - inspirational!

Uplifting to hear Bob and Gill leading the charge to put people at the centre of health services. Sometimes as a person it feels a little like a lottery. Challenging the vertical service boundaries and horizontal status boundaries is vital work, and it’s exciting to hear the changes being made. PS My local GP surgery is already excellent !

Fantastic podcast, thank you all for your honesty and for sharing the specific things that impact parents on neonatal units. It is really powerful to listen to and should be compulsory listening for all the team on the neonatal unit - and i mean ALL. Housekeeper, pharmacists, AHPs….everyone! I wrote my dissertation as a paeds nurse 25yrs ago on FCC, glad we have made some progress but more sad we are still writing/discussing some of this… Such wisdom in the points near the end about staff attitudes, perceived and real barriers and truly putting ourselves in all the different shoes to truly move this forwards!

I love listening to Gill’s podcast. I am inspired by the way she is able to ‘do good’ in such a restrictive system by not waiting for permission. I wish I had come across this earlier in my professional career. I could have got a lot more done and wasted less energy howling into the wind trying to change things with all the ‘permission’ I felt I needed but would never get! Thank you so much Gill is the understatement of the year and it’s only the first of January!!!
