Review
I work with Brian as a hospice owner on both the Manchester care home side, as well as the Cambridge Caregivers side. His podcast is awfully helpful to me as I work with families who are asking the same questions Brian addresses. I’m grateful that he is producing this podcast. I use education for my client.
Excellent podcast!
