What does it take to build an MGA that not only launches but lasts? Tim Quayle has spent the past decade answering that question, not in theory, but in practice. As CEO of OneAdvent, a London-based MGA incubator and service platform, he's helped launch and scale more than 15 underwriting businesses and seen plenty more that didn't make it. In this episode, Matthew Grant speaks to Tim about the real ingredients of MGA success. Not the glossy pitch-deck version, but the messy, pragmatic reality: why experience matters, what investors are really looking for, and how the market has matured in the last ten years since the “InsurTech” label first emerged. In this conversation, Tim shares: Why most early-stage MGAs underestimate how long things take and how much they'll cost What's changed in capacity and investment appetite, and why “grown-up plans” are now a must The risk of pushing too hard, too fast and how to preserve credibility with stakeholders Why deep insurance experience still outweighs tech fluency in this market The myth of radical disruption and why incremental improvement is the better bet How OneAdvent is investing in AI and data to better support underwriting teams across its platform We also explore broader themes: the shifting dynamics between MGAs and capacity providers, the evolution of embedded insurance, and why many promising innovations still struggle to gain traction in such a regulated, relationship-driven industry. You can join Tim Quayle in person at our upcoming MGA Half Day event on July 15th. Tim will be moderating a panel on the key ingredients for a winning MGA, alongside Adam Kembrooke, Founder and Managing Director, Amiga Specialty, Jacqui Ferrier, CEO, Carbon Underwriting and Tomos Ashfield, Chief Development Officer, The Ardonagh Group.  With only a few tickets left, sign up now to be able to join us for what is shaping up to be the biggest UK gathering focused entirely on the delegated authority market this year.

Send us a textSecondary music classrooms are increasingly challenged by student disengagement—especially when traditional models fail to resonate with today's learners. In this compelling episode, professional bassist and music educator Richard Frank introduces his Unison-Based Content (UBC) approach, a student-centered framework designed to revitalize music programs and re-engage learners of all skill levels.UBC shifts away from the conventional jazz band structure, offering a more inclusive model that welcomes diverse instrumentation—including non-traditional instruments—and varying skill levels from the start. By blending formal (notation and theory) and informal (playing by ear) learning traditions, Frank creates a “blended space” where all students feel validated and empowered.Educators will gain practical strategies for:Engaging mixed-skill ensembles with adaptable arrangementsIncorporating tab notation and alternative instrumentsEncouraging improvisation through simultaneous group playingPromoting student agency through choice and music analysisSupporting SEL through confidence-building collaborationConnecting classroom music to real-world performance opportunitiesIdeal for secondary educators seeking to refresh their approach or supplement existing programs, this method bridges the gap between traditional music education and contemporary student needs.Explore ready-to-use resources at PlayTheGroove.com and discover how UBC can transform your classroom into a space where all students groove—and grow.

Hoy en la sección TIC con hemos contado con Alberto Hermida, director de ADS Tecnologías, empresa de referencia en el despliegue de redes de fibra óptica en la comunidad gallega. Durante la entrevista, Hermida ha explicado los retos del despliegue actual y ha revelado detalles sobre la fibra óptica Ribbon, una tecnología que está marcando el futuro de las telecomunicaciones. ¿Qué es la fibra Ribbon y por qué es tan avanzada? A diferencia de la fibra óptica tradicional que llega actualmente a nuestros hogares, la fibra Ribbon destaca por su alta densidad y capacidad. Mientras la fibra convencional se fusiona una a una, la Ribbon permite empalmar 12 fibras de manera simultánea, lo que agiliza los procesos de instalación, reduce pérdidas y aumenta significativamente la eficiencia. “Esta nueva fibra viene en ‘ligaduras’ o paquetitos de 12 hilos, se puede fusionar en bloque y ocupa menos espacio”, ha explicado Hermida. Por ahora, su uso está limitado a centros de procesamiento de datos (CPD) de grandes compañías como Google o Microsoft, con instalaciones ya en marcha en ciudades como Madrid y Barcelona. Avances y obstáculos en el despliegue rural ADS Tecnologías continúa trabajando con fibra óptica convencional para llevar conexión a los núcleos más dispersos de Galicia. Según Hermida, el despliegue técnico no es lo más complejo, sino los permisos y las tramitaciones con propietarios de terrenos: “A veces, basta con que un solo vecino se niegue para que un pueblo entero se quede sin servicio”, comentaba el director de la empresa. Además, hay retos imprevistos, como los daños causados por roedores en los cables, o la resistencia al cambio en personas mayores que desconfían de las instalaciones. Alternativas aéreas y colaboración con infraestructuras existentes Hermida también ha detallado soluciones para evitar tendidos largos en zonas complicadas, como el uso de enlaces aéreos punto a punto, mediante antenas enfrentadas. Estos sistemas permiten llevar la señal a zonas alejadas y desde ahí realizar el cableado local. “Así ahorramos mucho trabajo y material”, señaló. Por otro lado, destacó una curiosa pero fundamental infraestructura: la red ferroviaria de Renfe. “Las vías de tren llegaron a lugares muy remotos y dejaron canalizaciones. Hoy muchas operadoras alquilan fibras que van por esa vía”, explicó Hermida, revelando un dato curioso: se llegó a decir que Renfe ganaba más alquilando fibras que vendiendo billetes. El futuro de la conectividad Aunque la fibra Ribbon aún tardará en llegar a los hogares, Hermida ve un futuro prometedor: redes más eficientes, rápidas y resistentes, con tecnologías cada vez más sofisticadas. Mientras tanto, ADS Tecnologías sigue con su labor de llevar la conexión donde antes parecía imposible. Todo, desde su base en Galicia, combinando innovación tecnológica con el conocimiento del terreno local. Una conversación que no solo nos acerca a los avances en telecomunicaciones, sino también a los desafíos humanos y logísticos que hay detrás de cada metro de cable tendido.

Enhanced underwriting has become one of the most talked-about shifts in the London Market, but it's also one of the least clearly defined. In this episode, we share a live panel discussion from our Enhanced Underwriting event, featuring: Colum D'Auria, Canopius Rob Jarvis, Tokio Marine Kiln Tessa Wardle, QBE The conversation begins with a basic question what exactly are “portfolio solutions”? and opens up into a broader exploration of how insurers are adapting to new forms of delegated authority, rising data expectations and the growing influence of broker-led facilities. Our speakers touched on: How different firms define and implement portfolio underwriting The emergence of tracker facilities and their potential to reshape market dynamics Why algorithmic platforms are gaining traction, and where they still fall short The role of live exposure data and the practical barriers to using it well How underwriters can maintain control and accountability in increasingly automated environments What comes through clearly is that many of the most innovative teams are thinking beyond product and pricing and focusing instead on how underwriting structures, controls and data flows can support long-term performance. If you want a clearer view of how underwriting is evolving beneath the surface and how leaders across the market are responding this episode offers a window into the practical realities behind the strategy. You can also read our event write-up: “Enhanced Underwriting: How the London Market is Turning Theory into Practice”.

Introducing Therapy for Addiction - Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD In Episode 344 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the ethical use of AI in therapy, highlighting potential risks and ethical responsibilities. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about her lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction - a vital area of practice that's often underrepresented in core training. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss how learning never stops in counselling - and why planning your CPD is essential as you qualify and build your therapeutic career. Ethical Use of AI in Therapy [starts at 03:34 mins] Ken Kelly, joined by his digital twin “DigiKen,” opens the episode by exploring the ethical use of AI in therapy—how it's quietly being integrated into practice, and the serious questions it raises. Key points of this section include: AI tools such as scheduling apps, transcription software, or marketing generators are already present in most practices. Many of these tools are hosted on international servers and may not comply with UK GDPR or ethical standards. Therapists must assess whether any digital tool: Complies with UK data laws. Has adequate encryption and security. Aligns with professional ethics. Stores client data securely. While AI should never replace the therapeutic relationship, it can support therapists with non-clinical tasks like admin, marketing, or web design. Introducing Therapy for Addiction [starts at 23:23 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about working with addiction and her CPD lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction. Key points from the discussion: Addiction is a stigmatised mental health condition and is often overlooked in standard counselling training. Many clients present with anxiety, trauma, or depression before disclosing addiction later in therapy. Therapists are encouraged not to immediately refer clients on but to recognise the skills they already possess. Therapist tools Caroline highlights include: Person-centred skills: empathy, non-judgement, trust building. Modalities such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. Understanding clients' use of substances as a way to self-regulate or self-medicate unresolved trauma or neurodivergence. Caroline also explores: The value of self-reflection for therapists working with addiction. Recovery pathways including 12-step, SMART Recovery, and CBT-informed models. The importance of understanding your clients holistically and not reducing them to “just an addict”. Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD [starts at 51:24 mins] In this final Student Services of the season, Rory and Ken discuss how to make the most of your academic break by planning your continued professional development (CPD). Key points include: Graduates often face barriers in employment without additional training (e.g. trauma-informed work or online therapy). CPD should balance: Ethics – e.g. being trauma-informed helps you work safely with complex presentations. Sustainability – e.g. online therapy training increases employability and client access. Choose CPD based on: Clear learning outcomes. Practical application of skills. Client needs you're most likely to encounter. Ken and Rory encourage newly qualified therapists to: Reflect on gaps in their training. Focus on real-world skills they can use in the therapy room. Avoid overloading themselves - CPD should feel purposeful and empowering.

At its core, insurance underwriting is about judgment: making sense of messy information, pricing for uncertainty and doing it at speed. Technology and AI should make that easier, but is it really the answer to underwriting's most persistent challenges? In this episode, Robin Merttens speaks to Guillaume Bonnissent, CEO and founder of Quotech, a platform built specifically for underwriting teams. Guillaume brings a rare combination of perspectives: he's a former underwriter who became a technologist and his company reflects that crossover. We begin by reflecting on the past 12 months: what's changed since Guillaume was last on the podcast, and why Quotech's strategy of building for niche underwriting teams has started to gain serious traction. In this conversation, Guillaume talks about: Why underwriters still spend far too much time retyping data The real promise of AI in ingestion and why it's finally deliverable The structural shift from generic platforms to class-specific solutions Why "build vs. buy" debates rarely make sense for MGAs How to build systems that record data usefully, not just store it Why AI can't fix bad inputs, and what that means for underwriting teams We also dig into broader trends: how emerging tech is shifting the role of underwriters, whether AI really is a disruptor or just another tool and why so many companies are still struggling to make basic data available for decision-making. What emerges is a sharp portrait of a market in transition, one that's slowly waking up to the need for class-specific tools, data-first workflows and AI that's genuinely useful.

Race and Everyday Friction – Ending Well in Counselling Training In Episode 343 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore the importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you work in this way. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry about her concept of race and everyday friction - how these subtle, often hidden experiences shape identity and create barriers in life and therapy. And finally in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the significance of ending well in counselling training - how to navigate goodbyes with your peers and why these endings matter in your development. Why Have an Online and Telephone Informed Supervisor? [starts at 03:12 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken unpack the ethical importance of having an online and telephone informed supervisor when you practice in these ways. Key points discussed include: Supervision is an ethical requirement to ensure your practice is safe, effective, and supportive of clients. When working online or by phone, you need a supervisor who understands the specific challenges of these settings—like missing visual cues, managing silences, and the different technical considerations. Formal training in online and telephone working is essential, as supervisors who lack this training might not be able to guide or support you fully. Ethical frameworks (like the BACP's) and supervision competencies in the UK highlight the need for supervisors to hold formal training in any special areas of practice. Supervisors with this training will understand nuances like the disinhibition effect (when clients behave differently online) and data protection considerations. Race and Everyday Friction [starts at 18:53 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sarah Henry, a counsellor and trainer who explores the concept of everyday friction. Those small, often overlooked experiences of race that shape a person's daily life. Key points from this conversation include: Everyday friction can be things like plasters (band-aids) that don't match darker skin tones, or seeing few Black people on greeting cards - small examples of how whiteness is often the default in society. These small frictions are constantly present and shape identity in powerful ways. White people may not recognise these frictions because they are not impacted by them directly. Conversations about race often start by talking about these everyday frictions - it's how we build bridges and develop understanding. Recognising and exploring these micro-moments of exclusion can help therapists be more attuned to the lived experiences of their clients. Ending Well in Counselling Training [starts at 40:41 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken share insights on ending well in your counselling course—whether you're finishing a term, a module, or the whole course. Key points include: Good endings help to close the chapter, mark growth, and ensure no regrets are left behind. Reflect on what you've shared and learned with your peers - acknowledge the support, challenges, and personal development. If there have been tensions with others, consider repairing or at least acknowledging them to avoid unfinished business. Remember that even if you see some peers in future courses, each group dynamic is unique. It's important to close this chapter properly. Taking time to end well helps you carry the experience forward as a positive part of your development.

Transcend is Faisal Hoque's latest book. It provides readers with the road maps that will soon be upon us. Faisal shares his perspective on the intersection of philosophy, humanity, business and technology. It made for an excellent conversation on this week's The Next 100 Days Podcast.Summary of the PodcastDiscussing Faisal's background and new bookThe group shifts to discussing Faisal's background as a management thinker and author. Faisal explains that his new book "Transcend" explores the intersection of humanity, philosophy, management, and technology in the age of AI. He outlines a framework called "Open and Care" to guide the opportunities and risks of AI.Debating the societal impacts of AIThe conversation delves into a deeper philosophical discussion about the potential catastrophic scenarios if AI is not properly governed. Faisal expresses concerns about AI replacing jobs, especially for younger generations, and the risks of AI being controlled by a small number of people. Kevin and Graham also share their perspectives on the challenges of regulating emerging technologies.Exploring solutions and the role of governmentFaisal suggests that while governments may be slow to act, public pressure and the emergence of AI-related crimes will eventually force legislative action. He argues that a balanced, "middle path" approach is needed to harness the benefits of AI while mitigating the risks. The group discusses the difficulties of getting governments to effectively regulate AI.Recap and closing thoughtsThe hosts thank Faisal for the thought-provoking discussion and invite him to provide a testimonial about his experience on the podcast. Faisal expresses his appreciation for the challenging conversation and his willingness to return as a guest.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled ten years ago to help business owners and marketers market to affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Send us a textDiscover the power of equine therapy through the eyes of specialist Erin Cain, founder of Grace Reins Equine Therapy in Colorado. When words fall short in traditional therapy settings, horses step in as powerful healers for children struggling with anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation.The science behind this approach is fascinating. Horses, with heart rates half that of humans despite their massive size, naturally help children downregulate their nervous systems through a mirroring effect. This physiological connection creates a safe space for emotional processing that bypasses the need for verbal expression. For children who find traditional therapy settings intimidating or ineffective, the barn becomes a sanctuary where healing happens through movement, trust, and connection.What makes Erin's program particularly special is her work with rescued wild mustangs. These magnificent animals bring their own stories of resilience and recovery to the therapeutic relationship, creating powerful parallels for children who have experienced hardship. As children learn the mustangs' journeys from trauma to trust, they discover new narratives for their own lives. The program extends beyond individual therapy to support entire family systems and provide educator wellness sessions, recognizing that healing happens in community.Even without direct access to horses, parents and educators can incorporate elements of biophilia into daily routines. Simple practices like breath work, guided visualizations, and mindful movement help children build "cellular memory" of calm they can access anywhere. These techniques offer powerful tools for emotional regulation that complement traditional educational approaches.Ready to explore how equine therapy might benefit a child in your life? Organizations like PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) can connect you with certified programs in your area.

Are you a coach who secretly wonders if you're “doing it right”? You're not alone, and this episode is for you. In this episode we unpack a topic that nearly every coach wrestles with at some point: CONFIDENCE. Whether you're just starting out or years into your practice, it's normal to question yourself, "Am I doing this right?" "Could I be better?" We see it time and again in our training rooms and our own journeys, that shaky moment when you step into the coaching seat and doubt creeps in. In this episode we cover: Confidence is fluid: It changes over time and across clients; uncertainty may stem from the coaching dynamic, not just your ability. Lean on trusted peers: Having another coach to talk to is invaluable, especially when supervision isn't immediately available. Acknowledge competence gaps: Confidence and competence go hand in hand; recognise where you need to grow your skills and take action. Choose aligned training programmes: Confidence flourishes in learning environments that align with your values, energy, and coaching style. Know and own your coaching style: Understanding your natural style helps reduce comparison and builds authentic confidence. Stretch yourself with CPD and variety: Try different coaching formats, durations, and approaches to expand your ability and confidence. Seek intentional feedback: Ask for meaningful, specific feedback to grow in areas where you feel uncertain. This episode is full of lived experience, reassurance, and practical steps. Confidence doesn't arrive all at once, it's grown, session by session, conversation by conversation. If you're feeling unsure or stuck in self-doubt, you're not alone. Confidence is something we build through the work, not before it. Whether you need CPD, supervision, peer support, or just a community of coaches who get it, we're here for you.

At its best, insurance is about clarity in uncertain times. Pricing that reflects reality. Promises that hold up when things go wrong.  In this episode, I speak with Todd Rissel, CEO and co-founder of e2Value, an independent company that has spent the last 25 years helping insurers and homeowners understand the real cost of rebuilding property, and the wider economic forces shaping those numbers. Todd brings both practical insight and long-term perspective. Our conversation begins with a simple observation: 2024 was a rare profitable year for home insurance in Florida. But Todd quickly places that in context, explaining why a single good year doesn't undo a decade of structural challenges and why insurers need to think in five-year cycles, not one. In this conversation Todd touches on: Why rising tariffs and global uncertainty haven't yet impacted replacement costs but might soon What the “small losses” teach us about insurer performance, far more than catastrophic ones The challenges of modeling severe convective storms, and why not everything can, or should, be reduced to a model The limits of funding-driven innovation in InsurTech, and the long-term discipline it takes to survive without external capital The launch of e2Value's new Structure Insurance Score, developed in partnership with WTW, and what it tells us about using AI responsibly in underwriting Along the way, we talk about barnominiums, regulatory experiments in Louisiana and the difference between forward-looking valuation and backward-looking pricing. Todd's perspective is shaped not just by data, but by experience. He's someone who believes in the purpose of insurance, but also understands the commercial pressures it faces. And he makes a compelling case that good data, applied thoughtfully, is still the foundation for everything this industry does well. If you're interested in where insurance pricing, risk and property data are heading next - or just want to hear from someone who's spent decades building quietly essential infrastructure, this is a conversation worth your time.

Shame in Supervision – Creative Learning During an Academic Break In Episode 342 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the art of apologising as a counsellor - why it matters, how to do it effectively, and how to avoid making it about yourself. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about a powerful and often unspoken topic: shame in supervision. We explore what it looks like, how it can impact both supervision and client work, and what can be done to repair it. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken look at how you can make the most of your academic break with creative learning - offering tips for staying engaged without overwhelming yourself or contaminating your core training. The Art of Apologising as a Counsellor [starts at 03:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore what makes a meaningful apology in the therapeutic relationship. Key points include: Apologising isn't part of most training, yet it's crucial when a rupture occurs in therapy. A well-placed apology can strengthen the therapeutic relationship and model healthy repair. An apology should focus on the client's experience, not your own discomfort. Avoid justifying your behaviour or offloading guilt onto the client. Principles of a meaningful apology: Clarify your intention – Why are you apologising? Acknowledge the impact – Understand how your action affected the client. Resist the urge to justify – Don't make excuses or shift the focus. Take ownership – Use “I” statements to show accountability. Invite the client's response – Open the door to dialogue. Don't expect forgiveness – That's the client's choice, not your right. Repair the rupture – Explore what can be done to rebuild trust. Tolerate discomfort – Apologising can feel hard, but it's part of ethical practice. Shame in Supervision [starts at 29:12 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about the impact of shame in supervision. The key points of this discussion include: Shame in supervision can silence supervisees and damage the working alliance. Common causes include: Judging or criticising supervisees' clinical decisions. Idealising supervisees and ignoring their vulnerabilities. Expecting them to know everything, especially in second trainings. Shame often results in withdrawal, silence, and loss of trust. Supervisees may internalise shame and stop bringing important issues to supervision. How to avoid shaming supervisees: Be aware of your own power and possible transference. Stay curious rather than critical. Show your own vulnerability, e.g. by talking about past mistakes. Openly name and repair ruptures if you suspect shame has occurred. Create an attuned, safe supervisory relationship that allows for growth. Shame often arises not from what was said, but from how it was experienced. Creative Learning During an Academic Break [starts at 53:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken offer advice on how to use your academic break effectively without overwhelming yourself or stepping outside your core training model. Tips for creative learning: Avoid cross-modality contamination – If you're training in one modality, don't dive deep into others during a break. Focus on areas that are universal and always useful: Counselling skills Personal development Professional ethics Use your break to: Review past material to reinforce what you've already learned. Read ahead if you know the next module topic. Connect with peers through study groups or online communities. Watch live skills demos to see techniques in action. Other ideas: Explore special interest CPD (e.g. grief, young people,

Here's the rational for Inclusive Leadership - people are the backbone of organisational effectiveness.

Retired agent Mark Horton reviews Operation Impunity, an undercover investigation that targeted the New Breed Black Gangsters. The street gang was based in the Square, a Chicago housing complex plagued with gang violence and an open-air drug market. The faction of the Breeds operated with impunity, committing murders and selling drugs with no fear of law enforcement.  In 2004, the CPD) area 4 Gang Squad and the FBI Joint Task Force on Gangs (JTFG) began developing a strategy to dismantle the gang. The CPD would conduct street corner conspiracy and the FBI JTFG would begin working towards a Title III and a Group I UCO. Mark Horton, initially the case agent, took on the undercover role infiltrating the New Breed Black Gangsters as a business associate purchasing drugs from the gang.

In this international edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence welcomes Lewis Andrews, the chief operating officer of the United Kingdom's College of Paramedics, for an insightful discussion on two major topics shaping global paramedicine. First up is International Paramedic Day, taking place on July 8, 2025. Now in its third year, the day honors the contribution of paramedics across the world and draws its inspiration from the birthday of Dominique-Jean Larrey, the father of battlefield ambulance care. Lewis explains how the day has grown from 50 initial partners to over 150 global organizations, with this year's theme being “Unity and community.” The day aims to raise awareness of the profession, share innovations and bring together the global paramedic community. MORE | How community paramedicine is thriving in the UK: Dr. Linda Dykes and Rom Duckworth discuss trans-Atlantic lessons in emergency management In the second half of the show, Lewis delves into the structure and significance of the College of Paramedics, which represents nearly half of the UK's registered paramedics. He describes how the UK paramedic profession is regulated and protected by law, with a rigorous educational pathway that now includes the potential for prescribing paramedics and direct-to-primary-care tracks. Rob and Lewis explore how paramedics in the UK are increasingly working beyond emergency ambulances — in GP surgeries, urgent care centers and academic roles. Their conversation offers a rich comparison point for U.S. EMS leaders seeking to elevate paramedicine through autonomy, education and broader clinical roles. Memorable quotes “This is not a commercial platform — this is about us celebrating us.” — Lewis Andrews, on the ethos of International Paramedic Day “Let's not reinvent the wheel, but let's look at what the wheel is for the environment that it's required to roll in.” — Lewis Andrews, on global EMS collaboration “The title ‘paramedic' is protected by law in the UK — you can't simply do a first aid course and call yourself one.” — Rob Lawrence “Autonomy — in a word — that's what makes a prescribing paramedic.” — Lewis Andrews, on expanding paramedic roles “We're also promoting the profession to those who don't yet know they want to be in the profession.” — Lewis Andrews, on recruitment and professional identity “We have a career framework … that actually shows that you can develop from that day one newly qualified right through to a consultant paramedic, chief paramedic, director, professor.” — Lewis Andrews Episode timeline 00:55 – Introduction to International Paramedic Day (IPD) and its origins 02:17 – Why July 8 was chosen: Dominique-Jean Larrey's birthday 03:02 – Growth of IPD from 50 to over 150 partners 05:06 – 2025 theme: “Unity and community” and sub-objectives 06:45 – How to participate: share stories, use hashtags (#UnityAndCommunity and #IPD2025), connect globally 08:58 – The global nature of IPD and U.S. partners' involvement 11:25 – Promoting awareness and the importance of celebrating paramedics 12:50 – Part 2 — The role of the College of Paramedics 14:09 – Overview of College functions: CPD, representation, research, advocacy 18:15 – Registration with HCPC, protected title and the regulator's role 21:12 – Paramedic education in the UK: degree pathways, demand and cost 23:46 – Discussion on streaming directly into primary care roles 27:09 – Career framework: from graduate paramedic to chief paramedic/professor 30:16 – Prescribing paramedics: autonomy and improved patient experience 33:08 – Recap and call to action: visit www.internationalparamedicsday.com 34:17 – Like, subscribe and engage ADDITIONAL RESOURCES International Paramedics Day Resources UK College of Paramedics The standards of proficiency for paramedics RATE & REVIEW Enjoying the show?

Working with Parents of Children with Disabilities – What to Do if You Don't Get Onto the Next Course In Episode 341 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts, Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly, take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the concept of everyday trauma. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ellie Finch and Dr. Jo Griffin about their CPD lecture, which focuses on working with parents of children with disabilities, complex medical conditions, and special educational needs. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss what to do if you don't get accepted onto the next stage of your counselling training, offering support and strategies for staying motivated. Everyday Trauma [starts at 03:33 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss how trauma isn't always caused by major events, it can also be the result of ongoing low-level stressors. These “small-t” traumas are often overlooked but can be just as impactful. Key points include: Everyday trauma includes repeated, subtle experiences that chip away at confidence and resilience over time. Common sources of everyday trauma: Education-based trauma – e.g. being misunderstood, shamed or unsupported at school. Workplace trauma – e.g. toxic environments, bullying, redundancy, or job insecurity. Medical trauma – mistrust or fear due to past negative healthcare experiences. Poverty and discrimination – food insecurity, racism, homophobia, ableism, or unsafe housing. Clients may minimise their experiences and not see them as “trauma”. These experiences may cause: Low self-esteem Anxiety Hypervigilance Burnout Internalised oppression Rory and Ken highlight the importance of: Being trauma-informed in your practice. Responding with empathy and curiosity, not correction. Holding a non-pathologising space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted. Looking out for body-based trauma responses, such as shaking, shallow breathing, or restlessness. Working with Parents of Children with Disabilities [starts at 26:57 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory is joined by Ellie Finch and Dr. Jo Griffin to discuss their new CPD lecture. They focus on how therapists can support parents who care for children with disabilities, complex medical conditions, or special educational needs (SEND). Key points from this discussion include: Parent-carers experience cumulative trauma from daily battles with healthcare, education, and support systems. This trauma can present as: Anger or withdrawal Burnout and overwhelm Grief over the imagined future for their child Therapeutic considerations: Be flexible with appointments. Understand the systems (SEND, healthcare, social care) that they're navigating. Be aware of the emotional toll of constant advocacy. Importance of recognising ‘inch-stones' - small milestones that are deeply meaningful to parent-carers. Avoid ‘toxic positivity', it's important to hold space for both joy and grief simultaneously. What to Do if You Don't Get Onto the Next Course [starts at 54:58 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken talk through the common but difficult experience of not being accepted onto the next stage of your counselling course. Key points include: Course places are often capped due to awarding body restrictions - sometimes, it's simply a numbers game. Rejection doesn't mean you're not good enough - there can be many reasons, including tutor availability or institutional changes. What you can do: Ask for feedback from your tutor or application panel. Reflect on any personal or academic development opportunities. Apply to other institutions with similar training standards. Stay focused on your ‘why' - what made you want to be a counsellor? Remember: Many practising therapists were once rejected from a course.

Send us a textWhat if the solution to many childhood developmental challenges was literally right outside our windows? Naturalist and author Susie Spiegel reveals how unstructured nature play creates the perfect environment for children to develop crucial life skills that structured indoor activities simply can't replicate.Drawing from her book "Forest Magic for Kids: How to Find Fairies, Make a Secret Fort, and Cook Up an Elfin Picnic," Spiegel shares how simple outdoor activities like mixing "potions" from natural materials or creating miniature fairy villages foster imagination while simultaneously developing communication skills, risk assessment abilities, and emotional regulation. These activities don't require specialized knowledge or expensive equipment—just the willingness to step outside and model curiosity.Perhaps most fascinating is how outdoor environments can transform children who struggle in traditional classroom settings. Those labeled as "troublemakers" indoors often become leaders in nature, where their heightened awareness becomes an advantage rather than a distraction. As Spiegel explains, "A lot of times kids that are hyper aware—somebody who might have ADHD—they're seeing a million things outside. They're the kids spotting the cardinal because they're seeing things in a really fast and exciting way."The good news? Nature-based play is accessible even in urban environments. From the "sliver" between buildings to cracks in sidewalks, children can find wonder anywhere with the right guidance. With simple tools like buckets, magnifying glasses, and journals, families can start small and gradually build confidence in outdoor exploration—creating not just cherished memories but crucial developmental opportunities our screen-centric world increasingly lacks.Ready to discover the transformative power of unstructured outdoor play for the children in your life? This episode provides a practical roadmap for bringing the magic of nature into everyday childhood experiences, no matter where you live.
