Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

Gill Phillips @WhoseShoes•whoseshoes.buzzsprout.com

Welcome to Wild Card – Whose Shoes! Walking in the shoes of more interesting people 😉 My name is Gill Phillips and I’m the creator of Whose Shoes, a popular approach to coproduction and I am known for having an amazing network. Building on my inclusion in the Health Services Journal ‘WILD CARDS’, part of #HSJ100, and particularly the shoutout for ‘improving care for some of the most vulnerable in society through co-production’, I enjoy chatting to a really diverse group of people, providing a platform for them to speak about their experiences and viewpoints. If you are interested in the future of healthcare and like to hear what other people think, or perhaps even contribute at some point, ‘Whose Shoes Wild Card’ is for you! Find me on Twitter @WhoseShoes and @WildCardWS and dive into https://padlet.com/WhoseShoes/overview to find out more! Artwork aided and abetted by Anna Geyer, New Possibilities.

7. Carol Munt - why we need pirates!

Today I talk to Carol Munt, one of the HSJ top 50 ‘patient leaders’ in the country. I love Carol’s common sense approach to quality improvement in health care. Carol has many different hats, including her own lived experience, looking after her mum with dementia and being a nurse in A&E! I think this episode contains a lot of wisdom, so a great contribution to this podcast series which aims to collect useful insights for Amanda Pritchard, the new CEO of the NHS. A meeting with Carol would be...

6. Joan Pons Laplana - creative disruption

Today we are walking - or should I say running - in the shoes of Joan Pons Laplana. Joan is one of the most interesting JFDI people I know. We all want to support the NHS, but Joan adds fun and creativity, so that we can all feel part of his adventures. Joan has just run the London Marathon , dressed as a pint of Guinness, raising money for Cavell Trust - supporting nurses at times of hardship. Joan is exactly the sort of person I want to speak to in this podcast series – Full of ideas about how...

5. Pandemic poems - with crowdsourced voices

In the early part of the pandemic, early summer 2020, we ran a series of #VirtualWhoseShoes sessions, sharing innovative best practice during the pandemic and exploring the particular challenges faced by different groups of people. The work was influential and led to a lot of interesting speaker opportunities, as well as helping people ( including us!) realise that we could keep our core business going and enabling us to run adapt our workshops among them online. You can read the report here: ht...

4. Leanne Howlett - our first #MatExp, 'lived experience' guest

My first #MatExp guest! Huge thanks to busy mum (and so much more!) my friend Leanne Howlett for sharing her experience of perinatal mental health and how she is using it to help others. We are hoping this episode will be influential in raising awareness and spreading some of the, often very simple, ideas that we discuss. Please give us some feedback. We are really hoping to build the conversation. Lots of lemon lightbulbs! 🍋💡🍋 See 'chapter headings' for more detail and to pick out your favou...

3. Dr Tim Fawns - an engaging approach to clinical education

Jumping off in a different direction today. Clinical and digital education. Dr Tim Fawns was flagged up by one of his students, Katie Cullum, as one of the most engaging people she had come across. Tim was the lecturer when she did a postgraduate certificate in clinical education online at the University of Edinburgh. This program is run for medics, dentists, nurses etc and apparently this module generally can be seen by students as a ’needs must’ to get into education, whereas Katie found Tim’s...

2. Dr Farzana Hussain - a fellow HSJ100 Wild Card!

My very first podcast guest! Very special indeed that my good friend Dr Farzana Hussain, GP of the year 2020 and fellow #HSJ100 Wild Card, dived in to do this with me. This is exactly the tone I am wanting for the podcast series – full of humanity, wisdom, curiosity and very informal. Please give us some feedback. We are really hoping that you enjoy our conversation. Lots of lemon lightbulbs! (See 'chapter headings' for more detail and to pick out your favourite bits) including: Understand the w...

Wild Card - Whose Shoes? - Trailer

Wild Card. I couldn’t believe it when I was announced as an #HSJ100 wild card. Who is it that the new Chief Executive of the NHS should be listening to? Apparently it is me! And then I thought about it. I have a fantastic network and could be a catalyst for people whose voices really need to be heard. How could I do that? I could set up a podcast series! My name is Gill Phillips and I’m the creator of Whose Shoes , a popular approach to co-production. I’ll be chatting with people from all sorts ...
