Peter thought he was being generous. "How many times should I forgive? Seven?" Jesus said seventy times seven. In other words, stop counting. In this highly interactive teaching, Pastor Colins Nwosu titled "Seventy Times Seven," exploring one of the most challenging expressions of love: forgiveness. He reminded us that forgiveness is not a feeling that arrives once the hurt fades. It is a conscious, deliberate decision to let go of resentment, bitterness, and the urge to get even. And Proverbs 18:19 shows us the stakes: offence does not just wound, it builds walls and locks doors that used to be open. Through the engaging contributions and conversations, we also explored the wisdom required to handle offences, pursue reconciliation, and guard against the destructive consequences of unresolved hurt. Drawing from Matthew 18:15–17 and Proverbs 19:11, PCN reminded us that forgiveness does not remove the need for honest conversations, healthy boundaries, or wisdom, but it frees our hearts from bitterness. The message ultimately brought us back to our own relationship with God: as people who continually receive His mercy, we are called to extend forgiveness to others. The challenge was deeply personal: we cannot always control how people treat us, but through God's grace, we can choose what we allow to remain in our hearts. Confession: Father, You have forgiven me more than I could count, and never held it over me. Give me courage to release what I have been carrying. Take out the resentment, the bitterness, and the urge to get even. Where I need to speak to someone, give me humility. Where I need to let go, give me grace. I choose to forgive, because You first forgave me. Set me free. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

In this solo episode, Tara Humphrey opens up on a good day, after recording her last two solo episodes on harder ones. She shares the context that grief continues to give to how she shows up, and reflects on hearing Emilie Kiser on the Jay Shetty podcast speak about navigating work and life after losing her son. Tara wanted to record this episode in the hope it might help someone in her audience who is moving slowly forward too. From there, Tara shares what's going on behind the business, starting with a milestone she's genuinely excited about: the podcast's first ever paid sponsor. About the sponsor, Lexacom Tara is delighted to welcome Lexacom as the first paid sponsor of The Business of Healthcare. She explains why she waited for the right partner rather than taking the first offer. Lexacom has been trusted for more than 25 years and was designed by a GP specifically for healthcare. Its clinical documentation platform brings digital dictation, ambient AI voice technology, speech recognition (Lexacom Echo), customisable workflows and patient messaging into one place, all built to NHS standards with data held securely in the UK. The aim is simple: less admin, more time with patients, across the whole practice team rather than per individual licence.

This week Nick and Emma talk about list cleaning, after an analysis by Nick showed that 350,000 patients have been removed from GP practice lists, resulting in a loss of around £45m from practice funding. Nick explains why this happens and the impact it has on individual practices.They discuss GP contracts, looking at the first area in England that has agreed a local variation to PCN contracts, BMA fears about what neighbourhood and integrated health organisation contracts could mean for general practice and whether financial pressures on the current GP contract could make GPs back an alternative model.And they look at the impact successive governments' obsession with GP access has had, after a report from the House of Commons public accounts committee found that practices struggle to provide the care frail, older patients need because they are overwhelmed with targets linked to improving access.Our good news story this week is about an initiative in Greater Manchester that has helped cut hazardous prescribing.This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower and deputy editor Nick Bostock.

The proposed Single Neighbourhood Provider Contract could significantly reshape how services are commissioned and delivered at neighbourhood level, but with many details still to be confirmed, PCNs are being faced with important decisions now. In this episode, Ben Gowland is joined by Robert McCartney, Senior Associate at Hempsons, to discuss what we know so far about the SNP Contract, the growing focus on neighbourhood footprints, and how local PCN DES variations could provide opportunities for PCNs to begin implementing change without waiting for national guidance. They explore the practical steps PCNs can take to strengthen their position, including leadership, governance, incorporation, and service redesign. Robert shares why proactive PCNs may be best placed to influence the future of neighbourhood working, maintain control of local services, and demonstrate their ability to lead change across their communities.

A giveaway funnel pulling 100+ emails a week. 300 to 500 comments a post on X. Newsletter readers. Ad clickers who never book. Five different lists, none of them talking to each other. A great setter could go to work on that data and print money — if anyone had organized it.So Jordan brought in Dylan Rich, founder of Systemized Sales. Dylan runs 10 sales teams at once, end to end — name, email, phone number all the way to contract signed and cash collected. In 15 years of sales and seven years working with agencies, this is the most sophisticated GoHighLevel pipeline either of them has seen. They build it live: UTM attribution per post, the "tattoo" rule for tags vs. custom fields, an action-based lead score that pings a setter the second a lead crosses 6 points, a speed-to-lead workflow with 73 million enrollments, and 57 smart lists ranked P1 through P5 so setters never waste a minute guessing who to call.Then Dylan opens up Revphlow — the post-call attribution tool that kills the EOD form forever and tells you your cash per call by traffic source, by closer, by calendar. If you run organic and paid traffic into a sales team, this is the playbook.What You'll LearnThe "tattoo" rule — when to use a tag (permanent) vs. a custom field (rewrites itself), and why getting this wrong wrecks your dataOne pipeline beats five — why segmented pipelines cap your granularity, and how custom fields + tags + stages stack to do the real workLead scoring that runs itself — assign points to actions (email open = 1, application = 3, call booked = 5), and auto-trigger a setter call at a score of 6Speed-to-lead you can actually measure — a workflow that timestamps every lead and counts only during setter working hours, so a Saturday opt-in doesn't blow up your numbers57 smart lists, ranked P1–P5 — how setters work the right leads in the right order and never run dry between fresh leadsAsk for the phone number — "if you won't give me your phone number, you won't give me your credit card," and why fewer, higher-quality leads winPost-call notes (PCN) — auto-dispositioned call notes pulled from the Zoom transcript that update pipeline stages for you, so closers stop skipping the EOD formCash per call by source — the metric that tells you which ads, threads, and posts to make more of (and which to kill)Chapters— Why scaling SDRs is the hardest (and most profitable) thing an agency can do — Who is Dylan Rich: 15 years in sales, done-for-you teams at Systemized Sales — The real problem: a giveaway funnel pulling 100+ emails a week, five siloed lists — How to organize intent leads so setters book more calls per hour — UTMs per post, the Zap into GoHighLevel, and tagging the first click— Live build: one pipeline + custom fields for granularity — Lead categories that follow a contact all the way down the funnel— Tags vs. custom fields: the "tattoo" concept explained — Lead scoring: assigning points to actions and triggering at 6 — The speed-to-lead workflow with 73 million enrollments— Keeping setters organized so they stop thinking and start dialing — 57 smart lists ranked P1–P5, built on filters, not vibes — Why you should ask for a phone number on every opt-in— "Can we blow your socks off?" — the Revphlow post-call attribution demo — PCN, Zoom + Fathom + Slack: clean dispositions on every call — Cash per call by source, by closer, by calendar — Where to find Revphlow and Systemized SalesGo AI-Native in the Next 90 DaysThis episode is the manual setup.

Emma speaks to Dr John Ribchester, a GP partner at Whitstable Medical Practice in Kent, a practice that is frequently cited as a leading example of the ‘neighbourhood NHS' in action. The practice has spent years shifting services like diagnostics, day surgery, and urgent care out of hospital and into the community.John explains the journey his practice took to develop this model, including the financial risks involved in building GP-owned premises capable of housing consultant clinics, diagnostics and an urgent treatment centre and why he believes working as a single-practice PCN has helped them to do this.He also highlights some of the challenges the practice has faced along the way and the changes he thinks the government could introduce to make working in this way easier. And he offers some practical advice for GPs and primary care teams looking to create change from the ground up.As part of the MIMS Healthcare Network, GPonline has produced a new report for our subscribers on neighbourhood health - view the report here..This episode was produced by Czarina Deen.MIMS Learning LiveMIMS Learning Live South is returning to London on Friday 12 June 2026, and tickets are free to book.This is your chance to boost your clinical know-how, connect with peers from across the UK, and gain fresh insights that can make a real difference in your patients' lives.

In this conversation, Dave Closson sits down with Sara Thompson (Director of Training & Communications at The Montana Institute) to unpack the mindset shift that changes prevention outcomes: moving from problem-saturated narratives to a “spirit first” approach that uncovers and grows what's already going right.They dig into Positive Community Norms (PCN) and the Science of the Positive, why misperceptions of the “norm” drive behavior, and how coalitions can start making practical shifts immediately, even before they have perfect data.In this episode, you'll learnWhy “raising awareness of the problem” can unintentionally amplify fear and misperceptionsWhat “Spirit First” means, and how it changes the way you engage a communityHow proximal norms (your immediate circle) shape what you think is “normal”A simple tabling-event question that instantly shifts the narrative toward strengthsWhere coalitions can start when data is limited (and how to build trust for better data later)How to measure whether a PCN campaign is working (awareness → perception → behavior)Resources mentionedThe Montana Institute

In the fifth episode of The Business of Healthcare Podcast – How It Got Commissioned series, Tara is joined by Dr Faris Al-Ramadani, GP Partner and former Primary Care Network Clinical Director, to explore how a locally developed mental health service moved from frontline problem to a working, commissionable model during the COVID-19 pandemic.   As demand for mental health support rapidly increased, general practice teams were seeing patients struggle to access timely care, with long waiting lists and practical barriers preventing many from engaging with existing services. Rather than waiting for a traditional commissioning process, Faris and colleagues identified an opportunity to use the resources already available within primary care to design a new approach.   The conversation explores how the PCN brought together trainee psychological therapists, digital tools and local partners to create a coordinated mental health hub, simplifying referral pathways and reducing friction for patients. By piloting solutions, learning through iteration and demonstrating measurable impact, the team developed a model that improved access while supporting wider system priorities.   Tara and Faris also discuss the realities of developing services without guaranteed funding, the importance of collaboration and stakeholder alignment, and what this experience tells us about the future of integrated neighbourhood working.   In this episode, they explore: Identifying unmet need through frontline clinical experience Developing services without traditional commissioning routes Using existing workforce and digital solutions to unlock capacity Building a coordinated hub model to simplify patient journeys The role of collaboration across primary care and system partners Learning through iteration and adapting when models don't work first time Demonstrating impact to support sustainability and future funding conversations   Connect with Faris Al-Ramadani via LinkedIn here.

Current guidelines recommend universal collection of a vaginal-rectal swab for GBS colonization at 36-37 weeks and 6 days for the identification of patients who require intrapartum IV antibiotic coverage to prevent early onset neonatal GBS infection/sepsis. Recently, we had a patient in clinic whose GBS culture at 36 weeks was negative. Good right? Well, the patient was on amoxicillin at the time for pharyngitis. Did that course of oral PCN based therapy affect the GBS culture result? Should we believe that culture or could it be a false negative, demanding rescreen after therapy completion? There is currently a GAP here in the guidance. In this episode we will cover this controversial scenario, look at the data, and provide a real-world implementable approach to this case.1.

In this week's episode, brought to you in partnership with Practice Index, we welcome back Claire Houston and Tara Humphrey, Founder and CEO of THC Primary Care, to explore the transformative potential of the new Neighbourhood Health Guidelines. Ben, Claire, and Tara examine how these guidelines could reshape healthcare delivery at the neighbourhood level, particularly their impact on general practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs). They discuss the intersection of PCNs and emerging neighbourhood structures, highlighting the potential shift toward integrated care that involves community and social services. The conversation underscores the ongoing importance of access to general practice in maintaining patient wellbeing, especially as life expectancy continues to rise.

Today we're diving into how nutrition intersects with the complicated world of pain. Today I have former guest and colleague Prof. Dr Deepak Ravindran to talk to us about how our immune system can impact our perception of pain, the different types of pain patients and how we can do better as medical professionals in the management of chronic pain.This topic covers IBS, pelvic pain, chronic cystitis, fibromyalgia, migraine, functional gut disorders, long covid and more. Pain cannot be explained by a singular pathway, and I think there is so much we could all learn from Deepak's insights on this topic.We discuss the different types of pain patients, how the immune system trains our responses to pain, how trauma in childhood can impact our responses to pain and why food plays a pivotal role.Deepak is Honorary Professor at Teesside University and has worked as an NHS Consultant in Pain management, he's author of the “Pain Free Mindset” a fantastic book that I recommend to both patients and medical colleagues. His new role is Director of Lifestyle Medicine for a primary care network (PCN) of GP practices in Reading, UK, working upstream to bring these insights early in the chain of pain management.We talk about the use of fasting, anti-inflammatory diets, the importance of gut supportive diets and key ingredients that could be useful for chronic pain sufferers.

Cet épisode est un bonus de l'épisode précédent sur les démarrages de l'allaitement.On reste avec Céline BOURGANEUF, et on aborde spécifiquement le sujet des compléments de préparation commerciale pour nourrisson (PCN) / lait artificiel appelez le comme vous voulez.Ici on fait attention à ne pas appeler cela du lait « maternisé » car cela laisse entendre que cela peut se rapprocher du lait maternel et ce n'est pas le cas. Cet épisode n'est pas là pour vous dire que choisir, mais vous donner simplement la conduite à tenir si on vous en propose en maternité :Est-ce que je les accepte ?Quand est ce que je les accepte ?Est-ce grave si je les ai acceptés ?Que dois-je faire si je souhaite revenir à un allaitement exclusif ?Si vous n'avez pas écouté l'épisode précédent il me semble important de la faire en amont, ou juste après pour bien comprendre ce petit bonus qui méritait un titre à lui tout seul tant le sujet est récurrent en maternité. Belle écoute. Charlotte Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Beginning in the early 1990s, Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood began to transform from the post-industrial morass it had been suffering for the last few decades. Artists began to rent empty apartments, what were once shot-and-a-beer bars became hip dive bars and entrepreneurs found inexpensive real estate to follow their visions. It was in this landscape that the Beehive Coffeehouse began to attract a new 90s alternative crowd. pcntv.com/donate pcntv.com/membership-signup pcntv.com

George Washington has frequently been criticized for his first military campaign, which sparked the French and Indian War. While his campaign failed to meet its objectives, Washington experienced his first taste of military command, dealing with situations that ultimately proved beyond his control, and learned lessons that made him into the man who led the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War. pcntv.com/donate pcntv.com/membership-signup pcntv.com

Rondalla. Kulintang. Bamboo poles. Gangsas. Sway balance. DANCE! We all are quite familiar with Philippine folk dances such as Pandanggo sa Ilaw, Vinta, Carinosa, Banga, and of course, Tinikling.  Whether we learned them through P.E. classes back in the Philippines, church festivals in the U.S., on college campuses at a PCN, or even on viral...

This week Kate, Mark, Gary and Henry discuss magnesium to prevent cerebral palsy, amoxicillin challenge in the primary care clinic for suspectec PCN non-allergy, new ACP guidance on colorectal cancer screening, and surgery for carotid disease.

The ACOG released Clinical Consensus #4 in August 2023, covering Urinary Track Infections in Pregnancy. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the more common perinatal complications, affecting approximately 8% of pregnancies. These infections represent a spectrum, from asymptomatic bacteriuria, to symptomatic acute cystitis, to the most serious, pyelonephritis. In this episode we will summarize some the key points from this monograph, and we will tackle 3 common myths/misperceptions related to OB Pyelonephritis. Are most people who claim a PCN allergy truly allergic? Can an anaphylactic PCN response decrease over time? What antibiotic is recommended for OB Pyelo if patients do have a real anaphylactic PCN history? Can OB Pyelo present without fever? Listen in and find out.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Diane: I was wondering if there is anything I can do for Trigeminal neuralgia?   Diane: How do you get rid of hemi facial spasm?   Talitha: Thank you for putting your podcast out there. It's led me to explore some new approaches to ongoing issues, and some of those new approaches are already working for me. My question: what would you suggest to prevent, or lessen the chances of getting cellulitis from a mosquito bite? Last summer, I started having a bigger reaction to mosquito bites, especially on my upper legs when bit through my clothing. I got large, red and hot circles 3-6 inches in diameter. Twice last year, those bites resulted in cellulitis requiring antibiotics. There are some aggressive mosquitos, and I use a number of ways to keep them away including yard treatments, environmental repellants and a lemon eucalyptus bug spray, but I get some bites anyway. I did the detox and will quarterly. Any other suggestions?   Matthew: Hi, I have asked a question concerning HIV last time. This time, I'd like to ask what I can do about an external anal abscess that came after I contracted syphilis. I don't know how long I had had the infection for because at the time I didn't have insurance and my physician (NP) told me he couldn't do any of my labs unless I paid up front, and at the time I didn't have the money. Once I found out after my insurance started, he did my regular labs, and stated my immune system continues to fight the HIV I contracted around 11/2021. He referred me to ID which was the same one for the HIV that he referred me too, which I don't have a good relationship with because they just want to push medications. MY NP listens to me and told me to go to health department which I was given PCN injections.   Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from allergies and congestion for a long time now. I've been listening to your podcast for a while and have recently purchased the CBO protocol (for round two) and the mold protocol and am starting those now. With allergy medication I can usually get my sneezing and runny nose under control but I can never seem to get my congestion under control. I have tried GSE spray, Nasacort spray, and neti pot with citricidal drops and all of them irritate my nose like crazy- I sneeze a ton and my nose gets really inflamed and congested. I get really discouraged because I want to breathe through my nose and clear out any yeast or bacterial overgrowth there but can't put anything in my nose without it getting irritated. Why do you think this is? Any advice?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2696 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
