Latest up from Spoken Label features making her debut, Kate Hook, Kate is a cheese-obsessed writer who was born in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. She now lives in Sale (primarily because they have a better selection of cheeses) with her husband and two children. She's been writing poetry since she was about six or seven years old, and describes herself as a “fair weather feminist” because putting out bins is definitely her husband's job, but she'll happily fight to close the gender pay gap, or end violence against women any day of the week. Much of Kate's poetry examines the unrealistic expectations that modern society places on people (mainly women!) and why we need to just step away from all the nonsense. This Podcast talks about mostly her debut book "I can hearing you ironing" which is described as " With a title inspired by an angry text that the sleep deprived, post-partum author once sent to her husband, this book is a must for anyone fed up with trying to survive modern life. This candid collection of 40 poems takes a stark look at parenting, internet comparison culture, and political nonsense, and asks important questions such as… Why is bonfire night always crap? Is it normal to get this stressed by the school Whatsapp group? And why can't people on social media just be kinder to each other?!"

Episode 250 – Unstoppable Young Carer and Inclusion Advocate with Sarah Jones

Unstoppable Mindset

“Carer” what is that? You may well ask especially if you live in America. We call them “caregivers”. Sarah Jones was born in a small town in Northern England. Both of her parents had some disabilities that resulted in Sarah even at an early age becoming one of their primary caregivers. You will hear about Sarah's experiences and how she felt that she never truly had what we would regard as a child-parent relationship. Sarah also had a younger sister who did not have a physical disability. However, her younger brother was born with disabilities including autism and epilepsy. Sarah began college to study nursing but found that she really didn't wish to pursue that career and so left college after six months and went to work. While Sarah feels she faced many challenges and didn't necessarily have what she would describe as the best life possible, she does point out that she knows where she came from by the choices she has made. In fact, she points out that now, as a part of Access Sport UK she works to help bring inclusion into sports to persons with disabilities and her attitude stems from her past experiences and decisions. She especially loves to climb and teaches climbing to many persons with disabilities. She works to get coaches to understand that just because someone may have a so-called disability it doesn't mean that they should be excluded from sports activities. Our podcast time is probably one of the most intense and heart-felt conversations we have had on Unstoppable Mindset, but Sarah shows that no matter what our circumstances, we can be unstoppable and move forward. I hope you are inspired by what you hear this time. About the Guest: Sarah grew up in a small town in Northern England in the UK. As a young carer, she spent her childhood and teen years caring for her parents and younger sibling, all of whom have disabilities and varying levels of need. Her mental health, wellbeing and educational prospects came second to her caring responsibility and she had to navigate growing up whilst providing support to others from a young age. These early challenges shaped her transition into adulthood and, after leaving college education with few qualifications, she has worked hard to get to where she is today. Sarah has worked in the outdoor industry, adult social care, education and the charity sector and her journey has lead to a clear purpose and goal – to improve the lives of disabled people and their families. Her current role with Access Sport gives her the opportunity to work with sports clubs across the UK to engage more disabled people in sport. Sarah helps break down barriers for disabled people to access sport, and helps change attitudes and perspectives on disability, care-giving and those kids that are often seen as ‘troublesome' or ‘a lost cause'. She ensures that the voices of disabled people and their families are heard through her a public speaking opportunities, and does not shy away from sharing her experiences in the hope of inspiring change for other young people from similar backgrounds. In her spare time, Sarah is also an avid rock climber and enjoys climbing with her daughter and friends. She is also an experienced inclusive climbing coach and works with a number of disabled climbers who prove that when the environment is accessible, welcoming and supportive, climbing is for everybody. Last year, Sarah experienced the unexpected loss of her younger brother who she once cared for, and navigated grief and guilt in the months following. This experience is something she openly shares in the hope that others can relate to the complexities of grieving for a sibling. Sarah also talks openly about her experience of becoming a mother, overcoming post-natal psychosis and how motherhood been her best lesson.

Today we get to talk with somebody from England, Sarah Jones, who among other things, is a carer. We call in this country, a caregiver. And I'm sure we're going to hear lots about that. Sarah was referred to us by excessive BS Sheldon Lewis, which I really appreciate. And he's bringing and has brought us a whole lot of interesting people. So we love to have conversations with the people that Sheldon brings. And Sarah, you're part of that. So welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here. Thank Sarah Jones ** 02:31 you. Thank you for having me. Thanks. Happy to be here. Michael Hingson ** 02:35 Well, why don't we start by you talking a little bit about you, maybe you're the early you're younger Sarah, where you grew up, and all those kinds of things that we ought to know about you and, and maybe even things we shouldn't know about you, but you want to tell us anyway. Sarah Jones ** 02:54 Yeah, so so. See, so I was born in the early 90s and Manchester in the UK, which is a northern town. And I yeah, I kind of grew up in, I guess what we would know, in the UK as a bit of a difficult area, I think in particular, it was quite an area of kind of low income. So it wasn't much really to do in the, in the local area. I guess. At the time, neither of my parents worked. So both my parents have disabilities, kind of varying needs of their own, which have changed over the last kind of almost 30 years. But when I was born, my mum, well still has cerebral palsy. So she's a she's a person with a physical disability. She also has a learning disability. And my dad is partially sighted and has kind of struggled up and down with lots of different mental health needs as well throughout kind of my life. And before I was born, so early life was at the time, early life you don't know any different when you're when you're younger, do you but then I think retrospectively looking back it was it was a hard time for for not just me as a child, but also my my parents as well. I think they struggled to kind of get the support that they need. And off the back of that kind of me. I struggled to get the care that I needed from from kind of who was supposed to be looking after me. So. So yeah, life was varied, I would say very varied childhood. So yeah, created Michael Hingson ** 04:32 some challenges. So did you end up being part of or a significant part of their support system growing up? Sarah Jones ** 04:40 Yes, yeah. So I think I was, I was five when my sister was born. And then we had a younger brother, who was born when I was nine as well. And I think most of my childhood memories focus around support being a support in some way, whether it be to their mother to my siblings, so And again, at the time, you don't know any different, I think being a young carer or I guess you would know, as a young caregiver, you don't really have a frame of reference because you're a child. And that's just, that's, that's how you're living. That's the way you brought up. And you know, you might be going out, doing the shopping it, you know, before the age of 10, or, you know, helping somebody go to the bathroom or helping somebody cook a meal, but it's, you don't think anything of it at that age? Because it's, it's just, it's Michael Hingson ** 05:27 what you did? Yeah, yeah. Sarah Jones ** 05:30 So I think both me and my sister were were really involved with, particularly my younger brother's care when we were younger. So we were involved with kind of supporting him to get to school to get dressed, to get showered to have really early memories of kind of looking after him when he was a baby, doing his nappies, doing these, you know, feeding them and things like that. We did kind of, really, we had a leading role really in, in his upbringing, and I guess I had maybe not as much of a leading role as in her upbringing as much, but but we do have a Yeah, it's not it's not a typical sibling relationship that we have. I think because of our Did Michael Hingson ** 06:13 you Did your brother have? Or does he have a disability? Sarah Jones ** 06:18 So he did have? Yes. So he, he was a young man with quite complex disabilities, he was autistic, he had epilepsy. He also had a learning disability. So he was a wonderful your man essay was with because he's no longer with us. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. But yeah, it he really, he really struggled to kind of engage in things traditionally struggled with school. And I think because of his, I guess, because of his needs, he, he then when he became anxious, he displayed some quite challenging behaviors that were difficult to deal with sometimes, but that was simpler, because it was, at the time, he wasn't getting the support that he needed. So, so for all of this kind of as young people, you know, we were children, ourselves, we were around him, you know, within in that environment, and it became just kind of that, like, that's what we got used to, we got used to kind of supporting him and looking after him. And just that was our family life. I think it was very different to family life that, that I know of what family life could be now, really, to what it was when we were younger. Michael Hingson ** 07:35 Now, did your sister have any kind of physical or disability? No, Sarah Jones ** 07:41 no, she didn't know she is a guest say it term typical, but a typical person that is she's not disabled? She's not you know, she doesn't. I think we've both probably struggled a different, like mental health things in our in our past, and we've probably had struggles with that. But But no, both me and my sister were I guess, you could say perfectly healthy individuals when we were born. Michael Hingson ** 08:14 In that sense, so But you, you did provide a lot of the support services for Wow, a younger brother, and your parents. And you went to school, somehow? Sarah Jones ** 08:28 Yeah, yeah, I did. I did. You know, still managed to go to school still did all of that. And again, it all this is all in hindsight at the time. It's, you don't think anything different? It's all just that's just what what it is, you know, you go to school and you come back and then you have a different family home life, I guess we're masters so we're very much kind of being the support network for each other. But yeah, I went built it. In the UK, we have primary and secondary school, and then I went to college and kind of was was okay. In in second in primary and secondary school really, like I remember some, some kind of, we had quite a lot of involvement from the social care services in during school life. So there's lots of little bits that I remember that when I look back now, I think, oh, that's, you know, that was a bit strange and lots of meetings and people involved and stuff, but again, at the time, you don't think anything of it. And then yeah, kind of passed. Secondary School. Fine. I got really good grades at the end of it, despite kind of not really being very present in my final year of secondary school. I think you're 11 which is the last year I really had quite a lot of time out. I was supporting my younger brother to get to school and stuff because he was struggling with getting on Trump whose public transport and things because of his anxiety And so I was taking him to school. So there was, I think, the second half of year 11. And I was barely there, but still managed to kind of scrape by my exams and then went to college. But yeah, I remember being in college and my dad kind of plan to go into nursing. That was my kind of always what I thought I could do. I think I'd always looked after people when I was younger, I was like, oh, that's what I'm good at. I might as well continue to do that. In adult life, why not? So I started kind of with that idea, I picked all of my subjects with that in mind, and just very quickly decided that it wasn't for me, and I dropped out of college 17 and went straight into work. And I've been working since Michael Hingson ** 10:48 really, what kind of work did you go into? Sarah Jones ** 10:51 So at that point, I went into the outdoor industry, so I just decided I saw this job, I was really struggling at home at that point, you know, 70, I was I was really trying to I was what I was going through a lot, I think with home life and really processing a lot of a lot of trauma that had happened really in my other life that had never really been supported through. So I'd kind of just wanted to throw caution to the wind and just wanted to leave. And I just came across this this job. I was volunteering at the time, I was the volunteer youth worker and kind of came across this job that was residential. So it was it was living where you worked, which was fantastic. And it was a being a climate instructor in an outdoor center. So just I mean, it sounds really impressive, but it's a lot of standing around to be honest. Michael Hingson ** 11:43 So what is it you did? What was the job? So Sarah Jones ** 11:47 I went off to be an instructor at an outdoor center. And just spent kind of the first three and a half years stood in the sunshine outside teaching kids how to climb and chucking them off high buildings on the wires and stuff. And I absolutely loved it. It was it was amazing. It was the best kind of I always said if it paid it off, I do every day because it was great. And yeah, I think I really found my love of the outdoors and my kind of love for a climate as a sport and kind of that really, I guess, helped me. In hindsight, I decided what I wanted to do with with the rest of my career really, so. Yeah, that was that that was kind of the start. Michael Hingson ** 12:35 So when you were in high school, and I guess grammar school, but mostly in high school and so on, did your, your peers other students understand it all? Kind of what your home life was like did? Did they appreciate it? Did it? Was it a problem in a lot of ways in terms of interacting with people? Sarah Jones ** 12:59 I think I had very, I had a very small group of friends at school. I think looking back I had a lot of people that I thought were friends and didn't really build that connection with people. So not many people actually care ever came to my house. So a lot of people didn't really know what life was like But what in this at the same time I didn't know the gravity of how different it could be really did have a few really, really close friends that were not going through similar stuff in terms of you know, having to provide care but but they were going through difficult times with family and I you know, I did I did have some really close relationships. Unfortunately, I don't I don't speak to anybody from school anymore, which is quite sad, really. But at the time, it I didn't really Yeah, I didn't really I guess I didn't really talk about it that much. Because I didn't think it was worth talking about really. I think in in the area that we lived we did. Because we it was a it was a an area that was you know, there was a lot of crime, there was a lot of kind of antisocial behavior. It wasn't a it never felt particularly safe and because we were vulnerable young people without parents to protect you. We did go through a lot in terms of our kind of areas and where we lived and we did kind of get quite a lot of bullying and physical kind of abuse from people and things and it wasn't it wasn't a nice time childhood really wasn't a nice time for either of us. But school was in all honesty school was okay. I can't really complain. I didn't really ever have any major issues in school, you know, kept myself to myself and kind of got through it. It was just coming home. Home wasn't a safe place for us. It wasn't a it wasn't somewhere where you you feel warm and kind of welcomed. Really Michael Hingson ** 14:59 if If you could go back and talk to the younger Sarah, what would you tell her today? What would you teach her hope that she would learn? Sarah Jones ** 15:10 Oh, have done have worked through this question in therapy before, and it's always really hard. I think. I think I would always, whatever. Whenever I'm asked this question that comes to mind, I always think that I'd probably want to know that all of the bad stuff that has happened, shouldn't have happened. Because I think that's something that both me and I think my sister have worked through in that we've been through a lot of stuff on top of the, you know, having extra responsibilities and some of the things that we went through as children, you would you would, you would then go to your parents for that emotional support. Unfortunately, we couldn't get that not through any fault of their own. We just weren't able to give us that. And you then go through that phase of, or why is it happening to me? Why is that? Have I done something? Do I deserve this kind of like, and I think it would be just knowing that when bad things happen, that's not this is wrong? Can it shouldn't happen? And it's not. It's not something that you ever deserve? I think, because that's a big thing that I think both me and my sister have have had to convince ourselves of over over the last few years. Michael Hingson ** 16:25 Yeah, there. We all we all face different challenges in the world at different times. And it can be an interesting experience to go through them. But it ultimately it comes down to what can we learn? And what did we learn from it? And how do we go on from here? Sarah Jones ** 16:42 Yeah, yeah, definitely. And I think whenever I kind of talk about any of this stuff hadn't I'd never have I never say I have any regrets. You know, I don't know what happened happened. Yes. Do I wish I'd maybe had a little bit more support sometimes? Or, you know, do I wish some really awful things hadn't happened to me? Okay, fine. But they did. And I think what we really try and do with everything that we've gone through is turn it into something purposeful. And whether that be consciously or unconsciously, everything that's happened to us has led us to where we are now. And it's given us a reason and a purpose of, particularly in the work that we do, kind of in my career. So although it's rubbish at the time, and kind of working through that we, it still has, it serves a purpose. Now, anyway, Michael Hingson ** 17:36 well, it's a lot better to be able to go back and put it in perspective. And the very fact that you think about it, and you do that, I think is important, because you can decide what you want to do with things. There are things you don't have control over, you didn't have control over the situation with your parents and so on. But as you're pointing out in your own way, right now, what you do have control over is how you deal with it, how you dealt with it, but more important how you deal with it today, right? Sarah Jones ** 18:10 Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think that's all we can. That's all we can do is control the now really Michael Hingson ** 18:18 well. So you said you did the work and outside and teaching, climbing and so on for three and a half years? And then what did you do? Sarah Jones ** 18:28 Yeah, so then I went into I went into adult social care. So I I started to I had a few sessions with some young people that had disabilities and were needed that bit of extra support. And it just really, it kind of opened my eyes to it was the first time I'd really seen I guess, an extreme sport be so inclusive. And I'd kind of got bored of standing in the rain for quite a long time. It just rained a lot in the UK. So a lot of the climbing was done studying wet mud, and I decided that I want to do something different. I wanted to kind of move back home and start saving a bit of money. So I went into adult social care and worked in a house for adults with complex needs. So I did that I was a support worker for about six months and then I moved into management and manage the house for just over a year which opened my eyes a lot to the I guess the issues with Adult Social Care, particularly in this country and the kind of lack of lack of care about about care about that kind of that group of people and knowing that at some point, particularly my mom will probably need that support. It really kind of It didn't feel good to be a part of that machine. I really didn't enjoy once I once I've moved up to that kind of manageable level. I then felt like I was the bad person I said, Oh, you can't do that, because I don't have the hours this week, I don't have the funding. And I just, I just really didn't enjoy it. So I did that for the kind of year just under two years, and then went into work in when I went to work in the charity sector and works for a charity called scout. So I'm sure you have the head of the Boy Scouts. And so yeah, so I work for the scouts in the UK. And that was kind of my first taste, I guess, of project work on a wider scale. And that was that was working from home before working from home was cool. It was working from home before COVID. And it was, again, tough, really, really tough. I'd never been in a role like that before I'd only ever been with people. So I'd been working with kids face to face to Climate Center or working with adults who you know, required support. This was behind the scenes, this was like background work, where I was making phone calls and sending emails, and I really struggled with that kind of just feeling really lonely, like just sat in an office by myself at home. And although the work was great, and I worked with a fantastic team, I didn't really connect with the corps that much because it was it was solely supporting young people to get into scouting. I've never really gone to skeleton before I'd never really been involved in it apart from as a as an adult volunteer. So as much as I loved it, I had a short term contract, it was only 18 months. And at the just towards the end of my contract, I fell pregnant with my little girl. So kind of once I went on maternity leave, I decided that I'm not going to go back to that. And, and then yeah, had a baby. And I've had a kind of year out of working on Yeah, nine months out of working and stepped into being a mum instead. Michael Hingson ** 21:59 So do you do you work today? That was five years ago, right? Your daughter's five? Sarah Jones ** 22:05 Yeah, so she just turned five, which the time has flown by and where that time has gone? Yeah, so So after kind of I'd, I'd had I've learned and and had kind of struggled through that time I was I was desperate to get back into work, I really realized that as much as I love being a month. You know, now I absolutely love it. My work is so important. And it's its purpose. It's what drives me, it's what kind of, you know, I feel like I have work to do. So I decided to go into teaching, which was a bit of a yeah, just this random kind of thing I saw I saw this advert I didn't even think it was a teaching role at the time. And I applied to kind of go and support that what I thought the role was was supporting young people to be more active in a school and it was it was kind of like, almost managing their gym and fitness programs. And I thought it would be like the to come in and just kind of use the gym and stuff because I've done my personal training qualification before. And then I got to the industry and they told me it was a teaching role. And I was like, oh, okay, well, let's go do it. Let's have a girl. So I Yeah, then was a teacher kind of throughout, throughout the years before COVID. And then during COVID, I taught in a in a special needs school. While especially as college for Key Stage five students, so they were kind of between the ages of 16 and 19. And I taught them sport and physical activity and then help support them into employment in the sport industry. So kind of help them get jobs in gyms and things and, and I loved it, I loved it, I really, really felt like I'd found kind of what I was really good at. I enjoyed the teaching side of it. You know, the students were fantastic. They did. The school was fantastic. And then kind of COVID hit and and it was it was a bad time. I guess for teachers. It was hard. It was a hard real hard time for for kind of teaching staff and education staff to work through that with the schools particularly in the UK and how it you know how quickly things changed and the guidelines change all the time. And and yeah, I really really struggled with it. And yeah, to COVID ruined teaching for me, I think because I I'm no longer a teacher now. So, so yeah, I think the the process around because the schools closed in the UK quite a few times. They kind of closed, reopen, closed, reopened. And throughout the different phases of us working from home and teaching at home online and then teaching. We'd like a phased return where the young people would come back in like smaller numbers, the whole kind of format of our teach and changed, I guess there's in terms of our staff team. So originally, the vocational teachers, sort of sport teachers here, and these teachers were full time their own subjects, so I only did sport, which is exactly what I wanted to do. And then kind of throughout COVID, when when we changed to, we were, rather than teaching all of the students, we were keeping them contained in in one group, so that if we did have kind of an outbreak or anything, we will, we would just contain that group and send them home. So we then taught everything. So not only was our teaching sport, I was also covering English maths PSH see, you know, different kinds of subjects, the school found that that actually really worked for those students. And it was really positive for them to have one teacher for multiple subjects, rather than multiple subjects with multiple teachers. So they decided to kind of change the roles, I guess, of all of the vocational teachers. And I essentially became a 50% sports teacher, and then 50% maths in English. And it just wasn't something I wanted to do. It wasn't my area of expertise, and it's not something that I enjoyed. So it was at that time that I'd come across just another one of these moments where I just saw something and was like, this must be for me. And it was a rule with Manchester United, who were wysteria, a football team in the UK. And they have a really fantastic foundation attached to them. So it's a charitable arm of the club. And they were looking for somebody essentially to work in some of their specialist schools and support the young people to access sport and access physical activity. And the school that I applied for. They this school was school in South Manchester, absolutely fantastic facility for young people with really complex health needs. So it was working with with individuals that needed to rely on a whole lot of support, and some, you know, two to one support in terms of either for their health or for their, to help manage their behavior or manage their anxieties or help them engage with different different things. It was, it was really eye opening. And I just loved it. Absolutely loved it. I was just I was having so much fallen, I worked with a fantastic team. You know, I used to have days of just doing trampoline and and climbing and like, you know, doing all of this kind of thing is incredible activities with, with young people who, who needed it the most really. And yeah, the kind of working for, you know, Football Club was great. I'm not a football fan. I tried when I worked for them, and I got easier when they pay your wages. But you know, not really that bothered. But, you know, it was a surreal experience. I got some really good opportunities through that. But kind of throughout that, that journey, I guess from from being a teacher, I started to kind of really understand education understand how I guess how rubbish the education system can sometimes be, particularly for disabled young people and how it's not really fit for purpose. Particularly in this country, I think it was, it was difficult times and you kind of not only as a teacher yourself to failure, sometimes setting up the young people to fail as well by not not really understanding their needs and their outcomes. So throughout being a teacher and being kind of with Manchester United, I'd started to kind of explore the idea of climate and how that can be more kind of inclusive. It already is inclusive in lots of places in the UK, there's lots of pockets of incredible work going on. That's like just showing that anything, everything can be kind of accessible and inclusive for anybody. But it wasn't widespread. And this kind of stemmed from I guess, my little brother really he he came to visit me when I was an outdoor instructor back when you know, when life was simple. And he as I said before, it was quite a complex human struggle to engage with with stuff really needed a lot of support from people. And he came climbing visited me at this where I lived and absolutely loved it. It was just the best day I've ever had with him and he was on visit wire over and over again. It was on the climbing wall over and over again. It was constantly asking for more just a massive smile on his face. Getting him out was difficult because he didn't want to leave. But yeah, it was it was something that was the first thing that I'd seen him truly enjoy outside of just you know, watching something on the telly or engaging with something like you know this sedentary so, so I then thought, Oh, this is this is good, he needs to do this when he gets home, he needs to do this with school. And unfortunately back then there just wasn't anywhere around that would understand his needs, there wasn't anybody that could really get that he needed extra support extra time, extra resources. So from that experience, being a teacher and then working with kind of this with the, the, with Manchester United, we had a climbing wall at the school. And I'd started to kind of, I guess, change the way that that looks. And we we started to embed regular climbing sessions that were a little bit different. And then we expanded to kind of access in an external center and, and just it very organically grew. And, and I guess, that project, or that idea outgrew my role with Manchester United, and I just I kind of had to keep moving with it really so. So now I work for access sport. So there, we're a UK based charity. We're, we're a mere 20 years old next year. So we are very young. But we do have a real presence kind of in the UK and that we we work right across both different places and both different sports in helping to make them more inclusive across the board. My area is disability inclusion. So I work with a number of sports now. Kind of we have different partnerships, and we work both from the top down. So we have those discussions with with national governing bodies around disability inclusion, but then we also go into those places on the ground at grassroots and talk directly to coaches about why it's so important and help them help them to kind of open up their doors to to more disabled people playing sport in whatever way is meaningful for them. And I think that this role now is I get it, I guess a combination of all of those roles that I've done before, into one. And I think it's Sarah Jones ** 31:59 that's exactly why I don't look back and think, Oh God, I wish I had gone on to wish I'd stayed in college, or I wish I had not got that job, right. It's just everything that I've done has brought me to this point. And now it's a really exciting time for the kind of where this work is going. really Michael Hingson ** 32:17 isn't that the way of it, you know, you can trace life through the choices that you make. And when you decide that whether they were all good choices or not they were the choices that you made. But it brought you to a point that you value and you rate very highly. It doesn't really get better than that. Sarah Jones ** 32:42 No, I think that's the only way you can do it, there's I think there's it would be very, very easy to fall into that. Or fall back into that phase of feeling. angry and like, like, it's unfair. And like you know that it's just the there's just as much as both annual me and my sister do fall into that. And we have done at times, particularly going through grief and times of trauma and things. We always just managed to pull ourselves back out of it, despite how low we might feel. Because we've got a job to do. And we've got we've got to take all of those experiences that we've had both as caregivers, both as young people who grew up in a difficult area, I guess we have kind of that intersection of of all we had that intersection of barriers, will we have to take that and put that into something that's going to make some form of a difference really? Are you gonna go ahead? No, no, no. Michael Hingson ** 33:48 Are your parents still with us? Sarah Jones ** 33:50 They are Yes. Yeah, they are. They? It's a difficult time, I think at the moment since my brother passed away last year, which I'm sure we'll talk about in a second. It was our relationships are very complex. And I think when the absence of a parent child relationship, when I was younger is definitely more apparent now in that there isn't a parent child relationship. Now, it was always the other way around for us really. And you know, we we have that biological love for them and I care I still care for them. I don't live with them anymore, but I still provide care. You know, if something happens, I'm there and, and throughout, you know, the process of grief. We as siblings snapped back into our original roles and I became a caregiver again. But we don't have a strong relationship anymore because it's it's difficult. It's challenging to have to kind of go back to all of those feelings when as an individual and going, I've done the work I've gone through Without therapy, I have processed a lot of stuff. The moment I go back into that place, it takes you back to feeling not great. So yeah. Michael Hingson ** 35:11 So things happen. And it's difficult unless the relationship can work both ways. And that sounds like it's been a real tough thing for you to have to deal with. Because it doesn't really work both ways. Sarah Jones ** 35:30 Yeah, I think that's the thing. And it's just, I think a lot of the journey for me particularly, has just been acceptance really, and kind of forgiveness. And understanding that whatever choices were made when I was younger, are now the best choices that they could have made at the time. Most informed choices that they could have made at the time, and that's unlikely to be any different moving forward. And that's fine. And I have my days, where something happens, or particularly Christmas, Christmas is always a time I absolutely love it. But I will have a cry on Christmas Day. I'll have a good 10 minutes, and I'll feel sorry for myself, and then I'll be fine. But I do we do. I do have those moments where I feel, you know, a bit a bit low, but then you just go it's fine. There's nothing I can do about it, I can't control it. All I can do is, is be there when when I'm needed. And that's just that's the relationship. That's that's what it is. And that's fine. It's better than some other relationships that I know people have with their parents. So Michael Hingson ** 36:36 yeah. Well, and you, you certainly seem like you're you're working through it. And I'm sure you spend a lot of time reflecting and thinking about what what you did, what you're doing, and probably some where you can go. But again, you're well aware of the choices that you made. And you appreciate that conceptually, which is something that a lot of us don't necessarily do. And it's all about really learning that you can trace where you are from where you were through the choices that you made. Sarah Jones ** 37:14 Yeah, definitely. I think that there's a lot of times that things that stick in my mind of like pivotal points, I guess that really determined what what paths I chose, I think one that that always I talk about a lot when I when I talk with when I work with young people, I remember being in college and going through a really tough time with with my brother and dad kind of was struggling to do an assignment or something. It was something along the lines of I couldn't quite reach a deadline or something. And I was it was really hard at that point. And I remember my tutor at the time, pulling me into the office, and I got really, really upset. I was really struggling at home, I was just all over the place. And she said, Well, all of us have got stuff going on, which is you just got to get on with it. And that was the week I dropped out. That was the week I just left. I was like I cannot I'm not doing this anymore. Like I can't, I just can't do it. And I think it was at the time, it was a really, really harsh thing to do. And I think probably wouldn't, probably wasn't the best thing for her to say. But I'm grateful because it was, yeah, people do have stuff going on and people get on with it. And it's not, it's not it's not right to certainly not right to say that to a student who's in tears in front of you. But there is, I guess there is some harsh truth in that in that, you know, as a as an adult now, the work that I want to do in the job that I've got to do you have to put all those things into perspective, I guess, put all of those choices into okay, that happened? What's the positive from it? And that's the only way that my brain works, I think is spinning them into positive silver linings. Michael Hingson ** 39:07 Is there a better support system from the government in the country today than there was when you were a child and having to provide so much support? Or is it really still about the same? Sarah Jones ** 39:22 Um, I think I don't think it's any better. I think a language that they use is better now. In terms of how they write reports and stuff, generally, it's a bit of a postcode lottery in the UK. So it's all dependent on where you are and what services are available because the social care comes from a local authority which obviously is governed by a budget and different local authorities will get different budgets based on where they are so it does totally depend on on where you are in the country. trainers, just the luck of the draw, which is sad. I think when there is a crisis, there is a massive problem in that there's a massive amount of young people that need that support and vulnerable adults that need that support. And it's a priority list. And it's a list that's too long for the amount of resource that they have. And that's exactly what kind of happened with us when we were younger. That was what happened. More recently with with kind of my brother's death, that's, that is the problem. There's just too much and not enough help. Michael Hingson ** 40:36 Why do you think that is? Is it just not a priority? Is it that people don't know? Or what? Sarah Jones ** 40:42 Um, well, I won't make it political? No, Michael Hingson ** 40:46 I was Yeah, I was trying to stay away from from politics. That's unfortunately, always there. Yeah, Sarah Jones ** 40:53 there's a massive lack of investment in social social services, that social care services. So. And I think I think that's apparent right across the board, not even just in terms of social workers and the amount of resource there but also the quality of care, in social care services, such as adult residential facilities, mental health support all of that there's just a massive lack of investment in it. And without investment, there isn't good quality service. And without that, people aren't getting what they need. And it's, it's scary, because you don't see it getting any better. It's not it's not get any better, even, you know, since COVID. Like it's only got worse. And it's, it's a scary thing to think there's so many different groups and pockets of people that require that support. It's not just families that have, you know, families of disabled people, it's people, elderly people who who require social care support. It's, you know, families who, sibling, carers, family carers. There's, there's just a long list of people. And not enough help. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 42:11 Well, you've talked a lot about your brother and the fact that he passed away last year. So I know you said you wanted to talk a little bit about that. Sarah Jones ** 42:21 Yeah, I think it's just it's just such a pivotal moment, I guess, for me and for my life for my career. I think it's a real defining kind of moment. He so yeah, so he, he still lived at home. He was 20 just No, sorry, online he was at when he passed away, just turned 18 It'd be 20. Now. So he, yeah, he still lived at home. And he, I'd lost kind of seen him at Christmas time. And I think when me and my sister had kind of moved away from home, because we both grew up and had our own lives and families and stuff. He, his kind of, I guess, understanding of was started to diminish because we weren't there. He had a really close bond with my sister, they were much closer because they were closer in age. And others had moved away and works residential for a while, and she'd stayed at home. So they were really, really close. I wasn't as close with him, but but he was, you know, part of part of us, he was a little broke. And I just got I just got a phone call just in the, in the middle of the well, in the evening from from my dad, and he just told me just said oh, he's he's passed away. He's scared when I was just what was going on. And I just flipped it into caring role. And I was just managing everything. And I think at the time, there was suspicions over the the kind of cause of his death. It was a very unexpected death, the police were involved and because because my parents could have had those additional needs and needed that additional support. Everything came through me so all of the inquest came through me the funeral planning, you know, go into speaking with the coroner, all of that stuff was my responsibility. And that's not a complaint. I'm glad it was because that's me controlling something. Control Freak. And I needed that. I needed something to feel like I was doing something to help Mr. There was nothing I could do to bring him back. But that was my role. My sister on the other hand, flitted into her role of being really affected by it and really emotional. And just struggled with that whole process. I struggled in my own way afterwards, after the funeral once everything after the inquest sorry, she's troubled right at the start. But the inquest was about nine months long. We're just waiting and waiting for investigations waiting for answers just constantly kind of wondering. And then I kind of finally got the final report, I guess the inquest inquest was closed. And they found that he had, it was suggested that he died after an epileptic fit. So he'd had a seizure, and had passed away during that seizure. The kind of the difficulty around that is that he, he was just turned 18. So his through the report have kind of gone through all of these different phases of his life really looked at all of his history. And it dragged dragged up a lot of stuff. So it really had to get all of our family files right up until from the moment he was born. And it was reading through that I still, I still haven't read through it all. I've read through the bits that I need to but the bits that I have, just see a timeline. And I think, in this country, when when a young person turns 18, if they're under the care, or if they're under the or they rely on social care support, at the age of 18. Some places it's a little bit different. It could be 19, they transition into a different service, there's a children's social care services and adult social care services. And then when he was a child, the family had two social workers. So it was two people who were giving that care and support throughout COVID, obviously, that that support drops because of precautions and stuff. And then once he turned 18, he became an adult. And he lost that that original social worker, so the family had one. Now, throughout that process, the inquest found that lots of communication didn't happen between those two teams. And there's a timeline essentially of phone calls and reports and kind of, I guess, complaints made against about him. He was consistently missing appointments. My dad had phoned and said he was struggling to cope with him, it was struggling to take him to appointments, started to miss school. Because the aid was struggling to get transport, and it was just like you could, it was like one of those moments when, and lots of people will probably understand if they've been on safeguarding training or anything like that. And you do this training, you read all these reports, and you go, how did you not see it comment? How did they not see where this was going? And reading that was exactly it was it was like this is not going to end? Well. And I think it was, it was considered that maybe because they were struggling with supporting him to get to his appointments. He may have been on the wrong medication, which wasn't because he'd grown so quickly, because he was it was growing, he was 18. He wasn't having enough medication to manage his epilepsy, and therefore his seizures had increased. So there was a massive question, and whose fault is that? Because both my parents are vulnerable adults as well. They are deemed to, or they struggle to provide support for him because he's a complex young man. And he he was I don't want to say it was difficult, because it wasn't difficult. He was he just had a lot of needs that weren't met. So does that mean that social services have failed him and failed the family? I personally think it does. But there was a bit of a debate in terms of is it? Is it my parents that have have made, you know, the wrong choices here? Or is it the lack of support that the family got? So there's other questions around kind of him, the time between him passing away and kind of ambulance being cold and things like that, and there's so many gray areas with it. But the fact of the matter is, is that he is no longer here. And a big reason for that is because he wasn't getting the care that he needed. And the reason why he wasn't getting the care that you needed is because the services that were supposed to support my family weren't able to do that, for whatever reason. And I think working through that, and really kind of accepting that that's what happened is, was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to accept because there's nothing I can do about that. I can't I can't change that. I can't. I can't do anything about the fact that that's the way that this the services are in this country. I can't do anything about how stretched they are. What was really difficult is about 10 days before he passed away 10 days before I'd had that phone call. I had phoned the social services at the local authority to come to basically say that I was worried the The house that kind of he lifted, they were really struggling to keep on top of kind of cleanliness and tidiness. I know, they'd had historical issues with kind of mice and things like that. And it just wasn't a, it wasn't a safe environment for people to live. And I'd, my grandma had gone and kind of taken some, she's gotten fooled for whatever reason. And she'd phoned me say, and I'm really, really worried I've not seen. It's just, it's just really bad. I don't know what to do. So I'd phoned them and said, Look, can can you go round? Can we can we can have this shouldn't be happening, like it would need to do something about it. And the social worker on the phone has said, Yes, I'll go around this week. And she never did. She had not made that visit. And it's difficult to, to not think that if she had gone would that not have happened, because obviously, the inquest says it's completely unrelated. But that their support had massively dropped off before that point, that there would have been a kind of Stark reduction in the amount of visits that they were having from the people that were supposed to be supporting them. And that meant that the environment got worse and worse and worse. And it still have to tell myself sometimes, that that's not a factor in what happened, because it creeps up every now and again. But that's probably the biggest thing is that that was an attempt of me trying to help and trying to just give them a kick up the bottom to be honest, and be like, come on, like you need to this is your job. And it didn't work. And the worst outcome of that is that somebody lost their life. And I think, yeah, it's been a difficult process to work through. And difficult to accept, but all the, I guess talking about that, turn it into a purposes. I always said that they had to talk about it, I'd be open about it. Within that inquest report, it was I think it was about 60 to 70 pages long. And there was, from what I've read, there was one sentence that described him in a positive way. Everything about everything were in the opening section where they described who he was, it was he was, Sarah Jones ** 52:19 you know, he was aggressive, or he was challenging, and he got really anxious. So he couldn't do this. He couldn't do that. There was one sentence that said he could also be happy, loving and kind. And that was just even after he had passed away, people still described him in kind of a report in a really negative light. And it's the only thing I can do now let's change that and actually talk about him. He was wonderful. He was cheeky, was funny, he was so an absolute joy to be around. And I think it's female, we'd asked his teachers to come and speak and, and kind of, I guess, just say a little excerpt, because they knew him best. They spent the most time with him when he was in school. Gone, sorry. Go ahead. And they wrote this absolutely beautiful poem about who he was. And it was so so funny. And that I think that's what we wanted. That's what we want to capture now is that we want to talk about him for who he he was and the joy that he brought to our lives, not how people felt that he made it difficult. Michael Hingson ** 53:28 Have you thought about writing a book about him? Sarah Jones ** 53:32 I've thought about it, I've thought about it. I've been told I should write one. But it would I use him a lot. In my job. Now I do a lot of training with coaches. And we treat we we train people around disability inclusion and disability awareness. And I use them as in so many examples. And that's kind of Yeah, he, we bring him into, into the work that we do and, and he's, he's the inspiration behind all of the work that I do in climbing now and how that's going and his kind of, it's not really a legacy, but it it's, it's all kind of for young people that are just like him because he's, he's one of he's a young person that has lost their life and prior to that had a pretty poor quality of life. Because he's not what he needs. And it's it sounds really kind of unlinked sometimes. But through sport and physical activity, we actually do have the power to give those people what they need. And it's not just about couldn't play a sport, couldn't get better at climbing a wall couldn't get better at kicking a ball actually come and be in a place that is safe and welcoming and warm and can give you a place to belong. And that's what that's what is we're trying to do really, and what I'm trying to do with my work is to help provide more places where disabled people can feel safe and welcome, particularly when they reach that point of 1819 25, whatever the age is, when school and college are no longer there, because that will happen to everybody who, who, who requires that support, will lose that support when when they reach that age. And what's after that, at the moment is pretty poor. And if you are somebody that relies on a high level of care, it's, it's not it, there's lots of places that are wonderful. And if you have the means to do that, and to provide for that great, but if you don't, your weld is, can be very, very small. And what we, what we want to try and do is change that, I guess, well, Michael Hingson ** 55:49 tell me a little bit more about what you actually are doing today. Sarah Jones ** 55:55 So my current role now, so I guess my title is senior development manager. So I essentially work with lots of people in lots of different sports to help them become more open and equipped to being disability inclusive. My that's kind of my role, I guess. But my I guess my biggest piece of work, which is external is linked to my role, but also external to my role is kind of developing inclusive outdoor opportunities. Building on some of the work that already exists in the industry, particularly in this country, we've got some fantastic places that just make everything inclusive and always say yes, and I'm really trying to spread that through through kind of not just the the climate world but also the commercial climate world as well. I think, particularly in this here sport is very, it's certainly going more performance based. And we've got we've got a fantastic parasport presence, like we have so many parasport opportunities, but because that is competition based, it is exclusive. It excludes people from that because people are allowed to develop a certain skill. So they have to work on something that is going to pitch them against somebody else have the same ability or a similar ability. Actually, we have this massive group of massive number of people that will never fit into those categories are don't want to they don't want to be the next Paralympian does that mean they shouldn't be able to play sport and shouldn't be able to kind of reap those benefits. No, we need a different offer. So I guess my biggest piece of work at the moment is working with all of the statutory organisations that are involved in climate in the UK. And essentially, looking to develop more inclusive opportunities through training, through award schemes through working on the ground with kind of instructors and clubs individually. And then helping kind of young, young people to access those, those opportunities and just be in that for life really would be the ideal. And through kind of through that there's there's other things that I do. I'm due to speak at the conference next year for the International young carers Conference, which is I've done lots of in the last kind of couple of years, I've had lots of opportunities to talk about disability inclusion, which has been amazing and definitely getting better at it, I think. But this is a this is a bit different. So this is me going and talking about my experience as a young carer and delivering a workshop to professionals and academics that work in that field. And it's that, yeah, that's an opportunity to kind of, again, take all of that experience that that we know my sister had us as young people that in hindsight could could be seen and is seen as as pretty poor, I guess. And try and use that to really hammer home. Why it's so important that the people kind of look at young carers and really prioritize them some way. Oh, God, sorry. Go ahead. Cool. Michael Hingson ** 59:21 All right. What what is your sister too? So Sarah Jones ** 59:24 my sister is oh, she's amazing. Oh, God love I like her. She's just she's just a fantastic human being so she she always knew from being primary school that she wanted to be an actress. So she was leading lady in all of our little primary school plays and I used to go and watch her and I used to get so proud of her and especially because we do have this kind of it's not really a sister Sister bond. It's more of a parent child relationship. Sometimes in the I still see her as this little, you know, my little sister, she's 23 she's a grown woman. But, you know, I still see her as a little girl. So she always knew she wanted to be an actress. She's just was on that road. She was like, This is what I'm doing. I'm going into this. And she went to college, she did drama, she excelled. She then spent, I think two years auditioning, because she chose the school, the drama school that she wanted to go to in London, she was like, I don't care how long it takes me, I'm going here. After two rounds, two or three rounds of auditioning, she got in, she graduated from there. She was the first person kind of in our, in our family to go to university. And she's now kind of a, she she does, she hasn't actually done some tele stuff, which is going to hate me saying, but yeah, she she's doesn't like that. But she is really passionate about kind of, again, using her own experience in the field that she's interested in. But she also works for a company, a theatre company that only work with disabled actors. So I think I like to joke and that we're basically doing the same job but in two completely different sectors. But we it's no surprise really, when you when when you think of kind of where we've, where we've come from. But yeah, she she is in the arts, and she is absolutely fantastic. And she just has kind of a wonderful, colorful career ahead of her. And I think she really, she always stuck to her guns, I think when we were I remember when she was auditioning. She said that because she's going down to London, often you're told to kind of lose your accent and lose your grip. And she's she was like, Absolutely not. I have a working class girl from a northern town and I am keeping that. And it's yeah, it's definitely kind of put her in good stead she's definitely kept to her roots. And yeah, that's, that's what that's where she is. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:50 Well, you have clearly had a lot of experiences, and you've, you've been through a lot and, and you've, you've come through it, and you're able to move forward. What do you want people who are listening to this, too, to know or to remember? Or understand? Sarah Jones ** 1:02:11 Um, I think I guess it's that, I don't know, I think for me, in my kind of day to day job, when I meet people and I kind of do I do my work or, you know, I'm walking down the street, and I'm going doing what I want to do. I think people assume I'm irate. And I've got it all together. And I'm like, I'm cool, you know. But underneath that underneath that kind of facade, there is a lot of this really kind of deep rooted stuff that is that I'm still working through every day. And it's hard, it is hard. And I think that usually the people who are most passionate about something particularly like social issues, and things like that, have a real personal connection to that. And I think that's why we need people like that in those roles. It's I feel like I'm kind of going off on a tangent, but I think it's so important that we kind of I guess just stay almost stay grounded. I think particularly in the world of like sport development and, you know, fast moving careers and stuff, you can kind of get a bit lost in what in the work that you're doing. But actually, the most passionate person around the table who has the biggest virus, it's probably got the darkest kind of history, or skeletons in their closet or stuff that they have to get up and work work through every single day. And it's worth remembering that when, I guess, I don't know, every day really, when you meet people that does something, sometimes people have done a lot of work to get to where they are. And it's it's been a tough ride, I guess. But yeah, I think I think that's probably I don't think I've answered the question there. But Michael Hingson ** 1:04:11 I think you have I think one thing that strikes me and well, we'll kind of leave it with this. But one thing that strikes me is again, you you've made choices, but you thought about them. And you know where you came from. And you know where you are. And you may go somewhere different in the future. But you are grounded in and although there are lots of things to deal with. You're comfortable in knowing that the choices that you made or the choices that you made, and it has brought you to where you are and you seem pretty comfortable with that which is cool. Sarah Jones ** 1:04:55 Yeah, I guess. I guess I'm comfortable with that. I think it's that The acceptance is a big part of that, I think is just accepting what has happened and feeling all the feelings associated with it, but then not letting them kind of overwhelm hospital. And that's, that's easier on some days than it is others. Definitely reaching out and start talking about it as well, I think that's a big thing for me. I have really struggled in the past to kind of be open about some things and felt like it's not my place. And now I just say it, I just say it and use it and kind of use it as a tool to help my work kind of continue, I guess. But But yeah, I guess being comfortable in accepting whatever road you've been put on? Well, sounds a bit easy. But But yeah. Michael Hingson ** 1:05:46 Well, I want to thank you for being here and taking the time to talk with us if people want to reach out to you maybe learn more about access ports and so on. How do they do that? Sarah Jones ** 1:05:56 So, yes, we do have a website, I think I can send you that. It's ww accesssport.org.uk. And you can hear all about kind of the work that we do.

In this episode of The Writing Life, we are joined by author, screenwriter and lecturer Tom Benn to discuss his latest novel, Oxblood. Set in 1980s South Manchester, Benn's blazing novel of female solidarity and the legacy of male violence centres on three generations of women at the heart of an underworld family. It won the 2022 Sunday Times Charlotte Aitken Young Writer of the Year Award and was longlisted for the Gold Dagger 2023 and Gordon Burn Prize 2022. Tom chats to NCW CEO Chris Gribble about the genesis of Oxblood and why it took six years for him to write. He talks about choosing to write a crime novel in a ‘different way' from a female perspective; and his aim to re-sensitise the reader through dark or violent stories. He and Chris also discuss how publishers may react to a book like Oxblood, which sits within the crime genre but also interweaves elements of other genres. For the introduction, Steph is joined by NCW Development Manager Dan Scales to talk about a new fundraising campaign launched this month for Escalator, our long-running talent development programme for underrepresented writers.

Patricia Boardman - From Textile Designer to Thriving Outdoor Instructor. Empowering Women Through Outdoor Exploration and Leadership

Tough Girl Podcast

Patricia Boardman, a former textile designer, has transformed her love for the outdoors into a thriving career as a freelance outdoor instructor. With a strong belief that anyone can pursue their passion for the outdoors, Tricia's journey showcases the power of perseverance and a deep connection with nature. From teaching young adults the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award to leading groups on mountain expeditions across the UK, Tricia's days are filled with diversity and adventure. For the past 15 years, Tricia has dedicated herself to working as an outdoor instructor. A few years ago, she made the courageous decision to transition into full-time freelancing, allowing her to fully immerse herself in her passion. Her genuine love for the outdoors and her desire to push herself out of her comfort zone have been the driving forces behind her success. Growing up in South Manchester, Tricia developed a love for hiking and camping in her late teens. She found like-minded individuals who shared her passion for walking, forging lifelong friendships along the way. Inspired to progress further in the outdoor industry, Tricia pursued her Mountain Leader (ML) Qualification, a milestone she achieved despite not having the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award during her school years. In a male-dominated environment, Tricia persevered, accumulating quality mountain days and fitting in training around her work commitments. She honed her skills in navigation and micro-navigation, pushing herself to be the best she could be. Gradually, she began picking up weekend work and building her reputation through word-of-mouth recommendations, steadily establishing a network of connections in the industry. Tricia reflects on the early years of her career, recognising the challenges she faced as a woman in the industry. However, her unwavering determination and passion for working with people propelled her forward. Over time, she had the opportunity to lead expeditions with children in destinations such as India, Peru, and even climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Witnessing young adults progress and grow, particularly during her time in Peru, solidified her love for her work. The pandemic brought about changes in Tricia's life, including being made redundant. However, armed with some savings, she took the leap into full-time outdoor work, embracing the freedom and fulfilment it brought. She shares practical advice for women seeking to gain experience in the outdoors, emphasising the power of asking and being truthful about one's abilities. As a sole trader using her own name, Tricia finds joy in the variety of her work and the balance between her personal love of the outdoors and her professional pursuits. She plans to expand her qualifications, particularly in water-based activities and cave leading. Despite the occasional challenges, Tricia remains motivated, continuously striving to improve her climbing skills and push her boundaries. Tricia is passionate about promoting diversity in the outdoors and is particularly motivated to inspire girls, especially in faith schools, to embrace nature and adventure. Being of mixed heritage—half Indian and half Scottish—she takes pride in being a role model for the girls she teaches and strives to make the outdoors accessible to all. With her infectious enthusiasm, Tricia shares magical moments she has experienced in nature and her unwavering dedication to helping people reach their full potential. Her final words of advice serve as an inspiration for women who aspire to work in the outdoors, along with valuable guidance on obtaining qualifications and pursuing their dreams. *** This episode of the Tough Girl Podcast was sponsored by Land & Wave!

Truth and plausibility - How should we engage with nonsensical claims made by colleagues? With Jack Chew and Prof. Dave Newell

The Words Matter Podcast with Oliver Thomson

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.So it's been a pretty action packed few weeks on social media; for those of you that have not been following there was a storm in a pericardial tea cup - for my thoughts on the saga visit my Instagram bio where there's an Instagram live video.It was a rather unique experience, so the researcher in me wants to describe the situation, understand the antecedent conditions and get some purchase on the underlying beliefs and intentions when colleagues make implausible and sometimes bizarre claims and also reflect on our reaction to them and perhaps how we can engineer a more productive response.As such, I'm going to follow this trail and in addition to this episode there are episodes planned with Carlo Martini (see our previous episodes on expertise and trust here and here) examining the phenomenon of pseudoscience; and also more Outsider episodes where guests relay their own experiences and outcomes of engaging with colleagues who hold such implausible beliefs and make such poorly evidenced claims which can only seem to map to the most distorted view of a biological reality.So I'm on a bit of a quest for the next few episodes at least to try understand how to approach (small t) truth claims which are used to describe what seems like an objective biological reality but come from seemingly completely different epistemologies and play by a different set of rules than that of biological reality.How can we talk with colleagues that seem to hold significant differences in foundational aspects of healthcare and what it is to be a health professional such as the nature of evidence, logic, ethics and intellectually honest argumentation?Just to declare and reflect on my own position; I am not a walking-talking positivist or strident empiricist; far from it - I most certainly do consider and embrace the plurality of truths which comes from the social construction of knowledge…as it relates to the social world; but for me I cannot see how a sense of relativism can extend to the natural world or the biology reality which brutally confronts us every second of our lives- whether we like it or not; literally with every breath we take and every time our left ventricle contracts.I may be guilty here of epistemological blurring or straddling different paradigms - but clearly as with many of us, my position is evolving and it's only through more critical self-reflection and more conversations that I might be able to iron out any wrinkles in my position or even change it completely.So please subscribe to the podcast and consider supporting the show via Patreon; and as always a big thank you to those of you already doing one or both of those things.So in this episode I'm speaking with Jack Chew and Prof. Dave Newell. Jack is an MSK Physio and broadcaster from the North of England and was the mind behind the phenomenal Physio Matters Podcast which was a huge inspiration for The Words Matter Podcast. He also leads the incredibly successful pan-professional MSK conference Therapy Live; as well as being the director of MSK Reform. Jack keeps his hand in clinically at Chews Health HQ in South Manchester. And he's recently been elected as a council member for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.Dave holds positions of Professor of Integrated Musculoskeletal Healthcare and Director of Research at AECC University College also well Visiting Research Fellow at Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton. He has spent the last 30 years teaching and generating research in chiropractic institutions internationally, holding the position of Research Director in two other chiropractic programs in the UK and Australia.Dave has published extensively in areas relevant to musculoskeletal conditions in general and the chiropractic profession in particular. His contemporary areas of research interest lie in contextual factors in the therapeutic encounter, therapeutic alliance and the alignment of chiropractic profession with national health systems. Like Jack, Dave is a podcaster and is one of the hosts of icarechirocast, an international podcast discussion with leaders in the chiropractic profession. Dave and I spoke way back in August 2020 on episode 15 where we touched on the dogma and ideology which permeates through corners of our respective professions - so take a listen for further context around the topic. Another relevant episode is my recent talk with the philosophers of science Dr Elena Rocca and Dr Saúl Pérez-González about biological mechanisms and how we can judge the plausibility of such mechanistic claims - this was episode 69 from March this yearSo in this episode we speak about: The growing phenomenon of calling out the falsehoods make by professional colleagues on social media. We ask if this is effective and whether there's an obligation to do this and with whom does the obligation lie? We talk about what constitutes a nonsense claim and the gradations of bizarreness and implausibility. We ask what is the most productive way to respond to such seemingly ludicrous claims? We talk about to what extent can healthcare professionals hold and perpetuate such beliefs and the ethics and harms in holding or espousing such implausible beliefs. We discuss how some practitioners seem to embody and fall in love their such ideas; and the situation where some clinicians are unable or not prepared to separate their ideas from their professional selves and identity; making it almost impossible to 'play the ball and not the person'. So this was such an enjoyable conversation; and only time will tell as to whether we achieved our mission of at least beginning to make sense of some of the truths and their plausibility in healthcare – I'm grateful to Jack and Dave for sharing their own valuable insights.Find Jack @JackAChew and Dave @NewellDave on Twitter Support the podcast and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In a series of interviews here on RNIB Connect Radio we are talking with a range of blind and partially sighted people to find out what life is really like living with sight loss, how they have coped throughout their life with the level of sight they have and the advice they would give to other people who might be starting to lose their sight or finding it difficult to cope with the level of sight they might have or have had during their life. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Abu-bakr Ishtiaq from South Manchester, who has lived with Retinitis Pigmentosa and Moon Beiden Syndrome since an early age, to find out what life has been like for him living with sight los. Abu began by telling Toby about his eye conditions and the great support he received from his family and school friends when he was going through mainstream education before attending Queen Alexandra College and then going on to gain a degree. For Abu sport has also played an important part in his life, not just watching sport on the television but playing many sports too which has helped with his confidence, communication and wellbeing too. Abu is a great fan of technology and would not be without his smartphone which he uses on a day to day basis for so many things, such as helping with navigation when out and about, but Abu has also been very lucky to have the support of a couple of Support Workers throughout his education and he still keeps in touch with one of his Support Workers today to let them know what he is up to with all his sporting activities and he says it is good to have someone who is there for you even if it is just for a chat.

Rising utilities charges have been hitting the headlines for a number of months, and with the energy bills price cap set to rise from £1,277 to over £2,000 in April we look at how landlords – and their tenants – will be affected. Presenters NRLA Chief Executive Ben Beadle (@BeadleBen) and Richard Blanco (@richardblanco_) talk to landlord Elahe Taylor, who offers rentals with and without bundled bills about how she is planning to manage the impact of increased charges. They also welcome Susan Aktemel, of ethical lettings agency Homes for Good, to find out how tenants are coping with rising bills and what support Government could offer to help them. Elsewhere Catherine Behdad of the NRLA advice team talks about the hot topics on the phonelines throughout the month, including issues with gas and electricity bills. We also shine the spotlight on training. The NRLA has recently signed a new deal with Milton Keynes Council, which is paying for private sector landlords in the area to become members of the NRLA, where they can work to become accredited by the association. The move is part of a bid to drive up standards across the area and Ben and Richard are joined by Lucy Tucker, the council's private sector housing manager, who talks about how the new partnership will work, along with local landlord Leah Musana who discusses the benefits of accreditation from a landlord's perspective.

It's Tuesday and that means one thing... The Robs are back to answer your property questions. Kicking us off this week is Tom. Tom has two HMO student lets in Cornwall that he invested in personally. They both earn around £1,800pcm. He bought the properties five and 10 years ago and while capital appreciation has been pretty decent, he's never released any equity from them. He's saved around £80,000 and is looking to invest in another student HMO in the same location, but this time using a limited company, rather than in his personal name. Tom can get a 4-5 bed property for around £280,000 and his rental income would be around £2,000pcm, with mortgage costs of around £600 per month. He likes the hands-on side to his strategy and wants to keep at it but he's wanting to know if it's a risky option, tying up all his money in one location when properties further north are more affordable. Our next caller this week is Rachel. Rachel is looking to invest in South Manchester, around the Wythenshawe area, which is close to the hospital and airport, in an ex-council property and use the serviced accommodation strategy. She's wanting to know if The Robs think this is a good idea and if they'd recommend investing in an ex-council property. Tune in to find out what they say.

In the penultimate episode of season one we share an Autumn plot update, a few ideas on prepping beds for Winter and a surprise find from a crop we thought was out of the game. Original music from Aerial Roots crew. Produced, recorded and edited by Antonia Canal & Balraj Samrai.Show transcript:Balraj: Hey everyone. Thanks again for joining us at Aerial Roots.Antonia: I'm Antonia.Balraj: And I'm Balraj.Antonia: Last episode, we shared reflections on getting started at the plot, some harvest updates and an extra special breakdown of Balraj's famous kale crisps. Balraj: This episode includes an update on how our crops are doing, preparing beds for the winter and an unexpected discovery at the plot. Antonia: So let's head down to the plot, starting with a windy evening with autumn in the air.Antonia: Right? So here we are, 25th of September 2020. Down at the plot.Balraj: Yes and the autumn equinox has come in three days agoAntonia: And Manchester, on form, it's like autumn equinox, boom, temperature drop, 15 degrees! I mean, we got that nice blast of sun, which I think the plants have been really liking. I feel like there's a ghost over there! But it's just Anita's makeshift, um, greenhouse situation. Shout out Anita!Balraj: Shout out our Equiknoxx crew as well.Antonia: Shout out our Equiknoxx family! Woop woop!Balraj: Northern hemisphere, Caribbean crew, shout out Gavsborg! Antonia: Just cause, just cause we love you!Balraj: Shanique, Bobby, Kemmy, Jordan, full crew. But yeah, what we up to here? So we've been out on a dusky evening. Antonia: Yeah, it's been a bit of a stealthy sesh, hasn't it? Like by almost cover of darkness.Balraj: Yeah, but you can still hear an ice cream van. Why not? Why not? It's South Manchester, you know, it feels like winter's coming, but... Antonia: But there's still room for an ice cream! Anyway, allotment. Um, well we've done some harvesting. Still enjoying the harvest season aren't we? What have we got? What's our loot today? Balraj: Well, you've just picked one of, um, a certain something, a certain root vegetable.. Antonia: Root vegetable, ummm, we've got a turnip! It's quite...it's quite petite, but you know, I'm very pleased to meet it and to later eat it. It's quite pretty, actually, because I think you can get like a world of turnips in the UK. And it's got this lovely purple colour actually.Balraj: Yeah I think we put it straight into the ground, didn't we? But maybe we're thinking perhaps we could try to do them in pots first. Antonia: And I feel like it's interesting with the root veg because the turnip feels a bit like the beetroot, which we grew earlier in the season. And, with the beetroot, they did a similar thing, where like they had loads of lovely leaves above ground and then they'd started to like, the actual root itself was popping up, but they were a bit skinny. And with the beetroot, we like, we just sort of buried them again in the soil and they did swell up. But when we did harvest them, there was a part of me that was like, oh, maybe if we'd harvested them earlier, they would have had a slightly sweeter taste?No, no hate on the beetroot, they were still yummy. So I kind of thought, well, this time, why don't we harvest this lone turnip? It's been, it's been asking to be harvested, hasn't it? You know, you did the Instagram posts, there was the dancing turnip or whatever the hell it was doing!Balraj: It was like, go turnip go! We're rooting for you!Antonia: So, um, yeah we'll probably scran that tonight, I reckon. Balraj: Yeah, that will make a nice little side. And we've also got some beds that we've covered with some compost. Um, and we've tried to put some green manure down, which is a new thing. Antonia: Yes, so tell us, tell us Balraj, what is green manure and why are we using it? Balraj: Yeah, so green manure, still learning about this as well, but our plot WhatsApp group, Bethnal Drive WhatsApp group say that no soil should be just completely exposed over the winter. So I think by putting down green manure, it enriches the soil and it can fix nitrogen. I think it just can make it a lot more kind of full of nutrients for when you're growing in the next year. There's a few different types you can get. We've got another variety that we've not put down yet that we're going to try. Cause I think it needs to be done by the end of the month, really? By the end of September. Antonia: Yeah before it gets cold.Balraj: I think technically the clover should have maybe been all done by the end of August. It's still starting to come through and yeah, I think you dig that over. So later in the year, you'll cut it back. So we're going to just experiment and see kinda what we can do .Antonia: It will grow and then we'll cut it and leave the cuttings on the bed won't we? They'll decompose. And it's more, more yumminess in the mix. Balraj: Yeah, it's good vibes. And I guess it saves us messing with the bed too much. Kind of means that there's plants doing the work for us . Antonia: We squeeze...not that we squeeze, we make time to come to the allotment, but you know, we're not here all the time. We have other stuff that we want to put our time into, we're passionate about this, but we're into the solutions, which mean we don't have to spend hours and hours, and green manure feels like that doesn't it?Balraj: Yeah and I think another thing is we planted some marigolds earlier in the year and they've been really amazing at kind of blocking some weeds on the edge of the bed, so stopping some bindweed, like in a bindweed battle, it seems like. So I think that's another thing that saves time.Antonia: Bindweed battle!Balraj: Yeah, so shout those out. We've also put in some Japanese lettuce of some sort?Antonia: Oh yes. I was, uh, I was trying to tell someone about this the other week. It's um, it begins with a K...we're going to find out the name of this [Komatsuna]. It's like a Japanese green, like an 'Oriental green'. I mean, this is, it's one of those things, isn't it, with the gardening world, some of the terminology feels like, yeah, come on guys, this is the 21st century, name where you're talking about!Balraj: Yeah we want to know the specifics of the location. Antonia: It will be a lovely, green, leafy, lettuce, type. That we can eat.Balraj: And we've also put in some rocket, a variety of rocket into one of the beds that, you know, is an autumn variety too. We have planted a few of the flowers that are meant to come in autumn also. And yeah, so we're just trying to kind of keep a few things going, you know, over this part of the year. Cause obviously things are starting to wind down a little bit, but there's still things that you can be growing. Um, and there's some radishes as well. Antonia: Yeah coming up a storm!Balraj: Yeah. So they seem to grow really, really, um, speedily as well. And I think you can kind of keep growing them quickly, actually, like they come up within sort of a short amount of time, like three or four weeks sometimes even. So yeah, radishes, they don't need a lot, really. I don't think they need much water or sun really. They just grow.Antonia: And you've, you've heard about this star crop quite a bit, but the courgettes are still out here, still going. And we harvested some today. We got four / five courgettes. So that's been really nice, they're dreamy! I can't talk about courgettes enough, if you want to try growing something next season, even if you've just got a little bit of outdoor space, whether it's a balcony or a little yard space, or even just on your street, I think you can stick a courgette in there.Balraj: We've got one in our garden, in a pot, actually, in our little yard and it's doing really well. It's given us a couple of courgettes already and we didn't think it was going to make it through and it's kind of just kept going really. So I'd say yeah, definitely in a pot. Um, sadly last time you heard about the potatoes, I was really excited about them, but it turns out slugs really love potatoes and a few times I've come down and there's been slugs kind of on them in the evening. Caught them in the act! But they seem to have just completely devoured the potato plant this time of year. So. I'm going to need to try something else. One of the plot neighbors nearby suggested maybe doing them in a bucket?Antonia: And like Anita, our plot neighbor was like, she does them in a box. I mean, I'm like, I'm Irish, I'm Irish crew as well. So I feel like we need to up our potato game!Balraj: Yeah but it's learning, isn't it? It's just trying stuff out and it's, you know, at the end of the day I chucked them in quick, I didn't spend too much time on them. So it's a, it's a bit sad, but. You know, you live and you learn and that's what it's about innit really?Antonia: It's like you said, I feel like I'm going to quote you from another episode, but there's collateral out here, you know, this is nature and this is how it goes sometimes. Balraj: For sure. But I can hear that ice cream van.. is it, should we try and go get ice cream? Antonia: Let's get an ice cream!Balraj: Plot spoiler. We didn't end up getting the ice cream. But that's where we thought we were up to with the plot and we thought maybe that'd be all we'd have to share this time round. But, we made an unexpected discovery a few days later. Let's find out what it is. Antonia: Okay. So, we have some big, big allotment news, massive news. You may have recently heard us talking about our beans, which we had much hope for. You know, there was various projects associated with the beans. The structure, the trellis, the trellis not being finished, the structure falling down, the structure falling down several times, Raj finding a way to prop it up, using various branches. We get to, we get to mid-September and we think, you know, the bean plant is doing its thing, but we're not going to get any beans. We kind of like ,we'd accepted that hadn't we? Balraj: Yeah we thought that might be the case. Antonia: And yet today, this momentous day... I can just see like loads of bats, can you see those two bats? I'm getting distracted. Um, today what happened today Raj, tell the people. Balraj: Well we needed some veg, cause we were running a little bit low and we had the idea that maybe we could go to the plot and harvest some bits and pieces maybe from here, some radishes and some courgette and kale. See what we could find and lo and behold.Antonia: BEANS! Beans baby! We got beans!Balraj: Beans! All types, all sizes, shapes!Antonia: Some huge beans. Some small beans. Various slugs, having a good old munch, the slugs have known for time!Balraj: Yeah, they must have known about it, but they've been hidden in there. I don't know. You were just tasting them weren't you, straight off?Antonia: I was just eating them. I was very excited. Not the slugs! Balraj: But the beans, and how did they taste? Antonia: They tasted good. They tasted sweet. Nice crunch. Ah, I'm thrilled man, I'm so pleased!Balraj: So another crop's come good really. Beans. Antonia: Beans. And we will be munching them tonight.

A warm welcome to the Aerial Roots Podcast from show co-hosts Antonia & Balraj featuring a summer solstice weekend tour of the plot. Original music from Aerial Roots crew. Produced, recorded and edited by Balraj Samrai & Antonia CanalShow Transcript: Antonia: Hi everyone. My name's Antonia. Balraj: My name's Balraj Antonia: Welcome to the aerial roots podcast series one, episode one big big, thanks for tuning in. If you want to get interactive with aerial roots now or in the future, we're at @aerialrootsMCR on Insta. do message us, comments, questions, give us some signal we'd love to hear from youBalraj: so we wanted to start this podcast, share our green fingered schemes and happenings and adventures. And, you know, just give you a sense of what it's like to be able to, you know, grow fruit and veg because we've been fortunate enough to really, to get an allotment plot near where we live in South Manchester for the last nine months.We're learning as we go, and, we thought it'd be good to share these experiences with you. Antonia: So a little bit of fact, checking for the record an allotment is a plot of land made available for individual, non-commercial gardening, or growing of food plants. So sadly we can't use our plot to get filthy rich, but we can use it to feed ourselves and share some fun stories. In other parts of the world an allotment is sometimes called a community garden or personal veg patch. We rent our allotment plot from our local council for a small amount of money per year. It's actually really surprisingly affordable. If you are based in the UK, you can sign up and join a waiting list to try and get a plot near to where you live.Balraj: We know you're eager to get down to the plot. So today we're going to give you a little bit of a whistle stop tour. Tell you about what we've been up to, what jobs we've got, you know, what we're growing over there currently. So yeah, let's get over to the plot. Aerial Roots episode one.Antonia: So here we are at the plot, 20th of June, summer solstice, longest day. Balraj: Bethnal Drive. Antonia: Bethnal Drive. I think we're the only people on Bethnal drive today. Um, I'm sure we'll see some more heads later and we're just trying to figure out what to focus on today aren't we?Balraj: Yeah. Just looking around we've got. Some garlic that needs weeding a little bit starting to get a little bit yellow on the edges. I don't know what that means. I think it may mean that its starting to kind of approach. Yeah. Antonia: Cause you were saying when it goes Brown. Balraj: Yeah. When the, when the stems go fully Brown, uh, I think it's towards the end of summer and then it's maybe time to get it picked and then we need to dry out. Antonia: The Garlic's a real success story. Isn't it of our plot? It's the first thing we planted, isn't it? Yeah. Balraj: Yeah, it was actually, uh, just put it in quickly, just in winter, just before the end of the year. Antonia: And didn't think too much about it. I can be a bit of the over planner and I was like, it's not in the plan. No, actually it's been such a motivator. Hasn't it. To see it thriving. Have something growing each time you come feels good, doesn't it? Balraj: Yeah. Yeah, sure. Antonia: Cause how long we had this plot for now Balraj: Had it since September. So that is maybe nine months now. Nine, ten months. Antonia: So coming up to a, not far off our year anniversary of the plot. So we got the garlic, What else we got?Balraj: Got some strawberries that, are, in probably the wrong place to where they should be there they're in a shady place. Antonia: They get a bit of sun but they also get quite a bit shade which yeah, Balraj: So we've got quite a few green strawberries that we hope will turn red.Antonia: If not we will be pioneering some green strawberry recipes. I'm sure you can make Chutney out of Green strawberries.Balraj: The first time transplant plant. Somebody gave us some kind fellow plot member gave us. Um, so I think it's a good look. There's something coming and there's been some flowers on there. Um, so if you cut the flowers and the fruit comes from the flowers. Antonia: Yeh they've not been unproductive there are there have been flowers.There are fruit coming, so, that's cool.Balraj: And we've also got beetrootsAntonia: I feel very invested in the beetroot. They, we, we started to beetroot off from seed at home on the recommendation of someone I work with an old hand in this allotment game, he was like, don't listen to the seed packets start it off at home.And they really thrived. Didn't they, those beetroot seedlings, they were very like elegant and beautiful and big and, um, put our poor little kale seedlings to shame quite quickly, I think. our Kale have some, you know, self-esteem issues, but now we've transplanted the beetroot and, and they're happy. I mean, a few of them haven't really survived the transplant.Balraj: There's always collateral in this gameAntonia: But we've got one, two. I'd say we've got one, two, three, four, five, very strong beetroots. And then one, two, three middling beetroots that might still come through and we planted some seeds directly into the ground. Balraj: Seeds are coming up as well. Yeah, I think it's good seed packet.Antonia: And then here, we've got our..Balraj: Beans, I sometimes call them peas, Antonia: Which will produce peas, you know, like green beans, French beans. Balraj: So in a few of those coming up, which is cool. Antonia: Yeah. Two of them popping up and we've actually got, uh, four rows of them. So we should, Oh, he's another one look Balraj: Trying to unfold. Yeah. So there's one as well.And there's another one over there and over there because the twine kind of marks it. Antonia: The weather's actually been really kind to the plot this week. Hasn't it? Oh, that's a plane going overhead. You can tell we're in South Manchester. Balraj: Yeah. Manchester airport. Not too far away. Yeah.Antonia: But this week has been. Loads of rain, loads of sun, it's been warm. I think that it's made everything very happy. Hasn't it? Balraj: Yeah. Almost a bit too much rain, but I think it's just on the right side of it now. Antonia: The soil actually looks lovely. love it when it gets this deep dark color, I think.Balraj: Cause it's remained fairly mild, like, you know, kind of 15 ish. Yeah. Today, today kind of up to 20, hopefully. Should be a good look and trying to think of what else we're sorting today... Antonia: We also have the marigoldsBalraj: Yep marigolds planted from seed. Seeds bought from unicorn. Unicorn Manchester, and they are starting to flower because we have some in our garden as well that we have put in pots that have come out out today.There's one of the plot now here that is almost kind of about half open now. Isn't it? That it's just trying to bloom. Yeah. Which is a big success. Antonia: Yeah. I think we're hoping that. Cause we, we, this is our, this is the first plot that we've just looked after ourselves. Isn't it? But we've previously helped at our friend's plot and they had like an amazing, like, spread of marigolds didn't they?And I think hopefully they'll self seed and spread and that'd be really exciting Balraj: And they can be edible as well, can't they? In salads and stuff in the summer as well. Antonia: And they, um, what do they, they give something to the soil. Don't they give nitrogen. I think that goes when you do have nitrogen. Yeah. That's one of the reasons people plant them.Balraj: It's good to have some flowers on the plot I think some of the people in the plots have got amazing flowers that are out now now, bit jealous of some of them, Antonia: We get, we get a lot of motivation from other people's plots, but it's great. It's a real, real community vibes. isn't it? Yeah. Great. Well, shall we, shall we crack on? Balraj: Oh, and lastly, there's a bit of card to put down isn't there as well. Antonia: Oh yes. The jobs today is weeding, putting card down and that's the main stuff. Isn't it? Cause we, yeah, we putting the card down because, um, we're still kind of like managing the plot aren't we? And we're trying not to, we're try not to be too ambitious with that growing all over the place.But by putting the card down, it means we can kind of get things cooking can't we? Balraj: And it means we, some of the weeds, cause we've got quite a big space. There's some of the weeds are trying to go a little bit. Yeah. They're getting excited. Um, and it just means we can keep them in the control a bit and stop the weeds spreading into like too far into where we're growing things too.So, yeah. Yeah. Antonia: And it should be like, you know, when we're starting to get growing like later in the year or next year, These beds that are covered we'll uncover them to find some nice rotted down weeds and soil ready to go. Balraj: And it's a balance though, isn't it? Cause we want to make sure that there's a, there's a resident frog around somewhere who I seem to see every weekWe have a pond as well. So we just need to make sure there's a bit of space for the frog to kind of do his thing too. Cause you know, we need that kind bit of biodiversity. Antonia: Yeah. We were chatting about that earlier today, weren't we that it's nice to keep it, keep it a little bit wild. Yeah. Balraj: Should we get crackin? Antonia: Let's do it.So there you go. First taste of the plot, as we said before, we'd really love to hear from you. If you have any questions or things you'd like us to cover on this podcast, do you get in touch. Balraj: Yes.

S03 E12: 27 ways to avoid being sued by your patient and 8 ways to survive a zombie apocalypse (whichever worries you the most)

Two Reds are Better than One

This month’s podcast guest might be described as our most unusual of the year (for reasons that will become obvious - read on). Steve Hudson grew up in a suburb of South Manchester and decided at the age of 13 that dentistry was for him. After qualifying as a dentist in Sheffield he worked his way up through the NHS delivery system, learning his clinical and communication skills along the way. In the late 90’s, his skills were enhanced by attending courses with Prof. Paul Tipton and, through that, meeting both myself and Ashley. In 2000 he had the opportunity to buy a 2-chair practice in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and, subsequently, became a PDS practice in the early days of the UDA system (days which he looks back on fondly as a much easier business to run than his present-day contemporaries). Evolving then to embrace the revised UDA system of the early 2000’s, at age 46 he sold his practice (for health reasons) and has now retired from active clinical life, although he still regularly acts an expert witness, sometimes for defence unions. A short career, so why did Ashley and I invite him to the podcast? To ask him about the dental business systems he wrote in the late 90’s “to avoid being interrupted by his team” and which subsequently became one of the very first systems manuals for UK NHS dental practices To ask about the evolution of his web site www.dentallawandethics.co.uk and the books and other resources you can access there To share some of his 27 rules to avoid getting sued by your patients To explain The Possible Challenge of the Instagram Dentist and The Threat of the Whistle-Blower To demonstrate how he used just 9 words with every patient to reduce his marketing budget to ZERO Oh - and by the way (here comes the unusual). To share with us his development as a best-selling Amazon-listed author of 8 novels under the name Sean Deville - all of which are in the genre or zombie/apocalypse horror fiction. He has also published 5 non fiction books for dentists. Steve has a very calm approach to life, whether he is building a dental business or describing the end of the world as we know it - calm and methodical - and he shares with us here how that approach has provided him with a rewarding career and peace of mind.

There are some people in the dental landscape who really need no introduction.Even more reason, in my opinion, to get behind the scenes with Ash and find out where he comes from and how his extraordinary career developed as THE go to guy for communication skills training in dentistry.I’m going to let you into a secret - back in the summer, Ash cycled the 26 miles each way from his house to mine, so that we could record the first version of this interview.Can you imagine my horror when I realised that the technology had let me down and our conversation was lost?I offered to travel over to Ash’s training centre in North Manchester to start again - he graciously combined a personal trip to South Manchester to arrive back in The Barrow Bunker for take-two and here we have it.Ash shares with us his career pathway from humble beginnings selling on a market stall in Liverpool to taking a leap of faith by enrolling on a sales training programme, after he had walked into the trainer's office to complain that delegates were parking outside his house.From there, the pupil became a teacher and achieved #1 ranking in his organisation for UK sales and top 5 globally.Along the way, Ash developed a lifelong appetite for learning and shares with us how and why that happened by a swimming pool in the USA. A defining moment.Eventually, the call of independence enticed him into setting up his own business, then a series of equally chance encounters produced just 2 dentists who attended one of his courses in 1998.The rest is history and (as we say) after 20+ years of hard work, he has become an overnight and international success.This isn’t just the story of one lad from Manchester who did well for himself, it’s also how Ash has literally changed the lives of thousands of people along the way - a story that will inspire every business owner.Enjoy listening to me chatting with one of my best mates in business.

Local Search Advice with Mark Taylor Mark Taylor is the Founder and CEO of eSalesHub, a Google Premier Partner, and he joins the Next 100 Days podcast for a record equalling third time to share local search advice. In this podcast, Mark shares 3 local search advice tips to help every marketer who wants to effectively create leads by local search marketing. The recent promotion to Premier Google Partner status reflects well on eSales Hub and their team. In 2018, Google invited eSalesHub to be part of their accelerator programme. The programme is designed for high growth companies. Which means eSalesHub is in the top 10% of all Google Partners worldwide based on expertise and certification. Pretty darn good wouldn't you say? Local Search Advice - Mark offers you 3 Tips When people look at search, there are 3 themes people should look at. Their streamline at eSales Hub is: "We Pay For Google, You Pay Per Lead" How? People think it is too good to be true. The answer is data. That's how they can take the risk of someone's Google spend. Tip #1 - Do it or Not? Well, you can get some great market research. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Do-it-or-Not-Market-Research.mp4 As a result of discovering more about the car manufacturer's market in South Wales, they have started to use NHS nurses and blue collar workers (i.e. their actual market) in their local marketing. They realised that South Wales performs differently from other parts of the UK. All of which means they have got a higher return on their investment. Actions: Decide if local search is for you by profiling your customers. Understand where your best customers come from geographically. Start tailoring your message to those people. The trick most people miss is they treat Adwords as a way of targeting the whole of the UK. Actually, you don't want to target the whole of the UK. There will be some locations that warm to your proposition. And other locations, where you really don't want customers (like those areas known for bad debt). Just as Mark says, this is akin to the direct mail strategies, deployed by Finely Fettled on behalf of its customers. Profile the customers. Find out where they live. Target them with direct mail. How to Profile Where Your Customers Live http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Targeting-Your-Best-Customers.mp4 Once you've worked out WHERE they live, work out WHAT your proposition is to those customers. Demographically, they can behave very differently. For example, north Manchester and South Manchester. The footballers live in south Manchester. Getting it now? Tip: Adopt your message to different conurbations, to give yourself the most benefit from Google search. Testing different things is really interesting. "It's the difference between a page conversion of 10% and a page conversion of 50%" Mark Taylor, eSales Hub Note: Page conversion means a unique user turning into a lead. Mark recalls at Halfords early in his career, he'd high five around the office if they got an 8% conversion. Now, they don't have a single client who is below 12%. The average is nearer 33%.Their record is 82% page conversion. Tip #2 Track the Data The challenge you have is Google tells you that 71% of people CALL as part of the local search transaction. Their belief is as you have someone looking for a local solution, these are people who don't know your business, so they want to chat. However, Mark's view differs from Google. In his experience, 85-90% want to call. Very few people fill out a form fill, for a call back. People want to talk. This is really good local search advice. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Track-Local-Search-Data.mp4 One of the ways this helps is by understanding return on investment. For a utility (plumbers and drainage), eSalesHub spotted engineer availability. The customer wasn't bothered about price.

Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. This week's journal is really special. It is the 2017 cardiovascular surgery-themed issue of "Circulation." To summarize this issue, I am so privileged to have the editors, Dr. Marc Ruel from University of Ottawa Heart Institute, as well as Dr. Timothy Gardner from Christiana Care Health System. Welcome gentleman. Dr. Timothy Gardner: Hello. Dr. Marc Ruel: Hi, Carolyn. Glad to be here. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thank you for another beautiful themed issue, Marc. I see that there are four general themes within this theme, if I may. The first of which are a collection of papers on coronary disease and coronary surgery. Could you maybe start by giving us an overview of that? Dr. Marc Ruel: One of the main topics that have been looked at in the surgical-themed issue this year is coronary surgery. We all know well that 2016, 2017, the academic year was quite fertile in providing new information around coronary surgery, especially with the release of the ART trial had actually scientific sessions of the American Heart Association the last November with simultaneous publication. Interestingly, the cardiovascular surgical-themed issue has several coronary papers and one that deals with essentially with graft failure, if you will. There's an in-depth review written by Mario Gaudino, who is well known and does fantastic work at Cornell, who essentially put a team together looking at several aspects of coronary graft failure. I guess we can say that these are looked in quite great depth, and they deal with several aspects of what would lead to a coronary bypass graft to fail. First and foremost, Mario and the team look at the blood components. Then the artery and the native bed itself. Then they focus a lot on the conduit, not only the nature of the conduit being a venous versus arterial conduit, but also the way of storing the conduit prior to performing the bypass. Also, the technique that's used around the use of that conduit. Finally, I'd say that the review culminates with the patient bioreactor, for lack of a better term, aspect. Endothelial dysfunction in the patient with diabetes, age, gender, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc., all these things that do act as a significant substrate for the fate of the conduit vessel. A very unique, I think, first-time, in-depth review that, certainly, the "Circulation" editorial team and reviewers were very excited about. I think this will be quite impactful and provide very, very detailed information for future research and future improvement and fate of the coronary graft conduits. Dr. Carolyn Lam: And, Dude, I agree. It's the new look at perhaps a classic, old, central surgery, the cardiovascular surgery. Very nice, indeed. Dr. Marc Ruel: Precisely, thank you. We also have a couple of important, seminal original papers within the realm of coronary surgery. In fact, these also deal, to some extent, with the fate of conduits and certainly how they work in the patient population in long ago bypass surgery. One is a randomized control trial, a single center randomized control trial that was performed in South Manchester. It's called the VICO trial, a study comparing vein integrity and clinical outcomes. Essentially, the study looked at open vein harvesting versus two types of endoscopic vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting. The study was performed at a single center in England with three sound methods, having three groups of 100 patients who were compared with regards to the vein harvest technique. The primary outcome was with regards to actual vein integrity, looking at muscular damage and endothelial function and integrity on microscopy. Surprisingly and actually quite reassuredly that there were very few differences between endoscopic vein harvest and open vein harvest. Certainly the investigators also looked, as one of their secondary outcomes, at quality of life. It was quality of life that was gained in patients who had endoscopic vein harvest versus those who had open vein harvest. Overall, there was no difference in major adverse cardiac events. Therefore, showing at least in an internally valid fashion that these investigators at their center could do endoscopic vein harvesting as well as open vein harvesting. Dr. Carolyn Lam: I know that there are other original research papers, perhaps. Would you like to highlight any of them? Dr. Marc Ruel: Yes, for sure. Carolyn, there's also one more coronary surgery paper, which I wanted to highlight and that is the paper entitled, "Does Use of Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery Grafting Reduce Long-Term Risk of Repeat Coronary Revascularization?" This is a multi-center analysis with first author is Iribarne from Northern New England. Essentially, seven medical centers got together and took about 20 years of consecutive CABGs with a total number of 50,000 operations, or just shy of 50,000 operations. The median duration of follow-up was 13 years, and these patients were well matched together using a propensity matching scheme. I think this paper and this research is unique and of high impact. Even though it does have shortcomings of not being a randomized control trial, it is very welcome information, especially in light of the recent ART trial, which, as you know, did not show any difference at five years analysis between single and bilateral internal thoracic artery use. The particularity of the Iribarne paper is that it is a very large data set up with close to 50,000 patients. It is multi-centered, therefore, it is real life. It is a consecutive series. The patients are extremely well matched, and it is remarkable to hear that the patients, in fact, had no difference in mortality until about five years after the operation. As opposed to many previous series where single versus bilateral internal mammary grafting shows a mortality difference very early on, which always raises the suspicion of poor matching or confounding by indication, if you will, this paper did not have that. Finally, the follow-up was quite long and at about six years, there was really a mechanistic signal with regards to repeat revascularization events, which seemed to match the difference in late mortality. There was no difference in early and five-year mortality, but afterwards as repeat revascularization events started to occur more frequently in the single mammary group, this was matched by a difference in mortality, as well. I think a very useful, large, long follow-up mechanistically-based information that I think adds very significantly to the current information we have about bilateral versus single mammary use. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thank you, Marc. Two original papers, highlighted, dealing with really very important modern controversies in this area. Open vein versus endoscopic vein harvesting, single versus bilateral mammary artery bypass. Excellent. Let's move on now to the next sub-theme, if you will. And that is the collection of papers on "Adult Congenital Heart Conditions," really, really an increasingly important and growing population that we're seeing. Tim, would you like to summarize maybe some of the highlights of the papers there? Dr. Timothy Gardner: The first paper, as you point out, is focused on adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot. This series came from the UK and it examines the course of almost 60 patients, at a mean age of 35 years following a repair of tetralogy as infants or young children, developed right heart failure and required pulmonary valve replacement. This is a common scenario that we're seeing, successfully repaired children who appear to do well but as they get into their late 20s and 30s, their pulmonary valve function, which is often inadequate or not even present valve, require an intervention. The important learning here is that pulmonary valve replacement, either surgically or by catheter technique, was shown to be highly effective in salvaging right ventricular function. That is based on imaging studies as well as hemodynamic studies of right ventricular function. There was an almost, in this group of patients, almost an immediate reverse remodeling of the right ventricle after placement of the valve, that continued to improve over time. This was, I think, quite reassuring. There, historically, was a bit of a reluctance to operate on these patients as their right heart was failing, despite the fact that without some intervention to take the volume load off of the RV, the patients didn't do well. This is good news for an important group of patients who we are all seeing, who oftentimes present to the adult cardiologist because of this right ventricular failure problem. A nice, reassuring study. Actually, the other two congenital papers are, again, focused on the infant. They both deal with the infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome or single ventricle pathology. The first paper seems sort of specialized in terms of its focus, "The Optimal Timing of Stage-2-Palliation for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome." This was a report from the NIH Pediatric Heart Network. They had a single ventricle reconstruction trial. This network is comprised of about 10 North American centers, both in the U.S. and Canada and has provided excellent data about the management of pediatric heart disease but, in particular, the single ventricle trial has been excellent. In this particular paper, they look at the optimal timing for stage-2 repair. Just to remind ourselves, the first part of the three-stage treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome is the Norwood procedure, which has to be done shortly after birth, as the patent ductus arteriosus closes and converts, essentially, the single right ventricle into the systemic ventricle. The stage-2 comes along, usually done with a Glenn-type of shunt, increases pulmonary blood flow and stabilizes these infants until they can reach the age for, and the heart function for definitive repair. This has been a particularly difficult problem for the congenital heart surgeons. What is the optimal timing? This study, which involved over 400 patients, identified optimal timing for the second stage between three and six months after the Norwood. I think this was very reassuring, is reassuring or supportive for the congenital heart community in terms of both patients and also good evidence base that a delay of three to six months does, in fact, produce the best transplant-free survival. In fact, the other aspect of this observation was that infants who developed the need for another second stage operation sooner than that did not do well, and the reasons for the required earlier surgery could be failure of the initial operation or additional anatomic risk factors. But this, I think, was an important, large series, multi-center study that will prove to be very helpful in sorting out this complex timing of a three-stage repair. Just to comment, again, for readers who don't deal with infant congenital heart treatments very often, there's been a remarkable amount of success over the last two decades in salvaging and saving these very difficult infants with the hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In fact, an additional paper in this surgery-themed issue, comes from the UK and is, in fact, a report on the findings from the UK-wide audit of the treatment of infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In fact, their findings, in this sort of real world, not in the Pediatric Heart Network trial group, is very similar. They found that infants who got to the second stage without additional refinement of the initial Norwood procedure and were able to be successfully treated with a Glenn shunt somewhere in the four-to-six-month age range, did well. They actually made the point that the anatomy was more of a determinant than anything else. I think that this particular review will reinforce what the congenital heart surgeons have learned about optimal timing for this three-stage treatment of what previously were unreconstructable children. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thank you so much, Tim. Isn't it wonderful the way papers come in and they're actually complementary and consistent with one another. We're just so lucky to be publishing all of these great, high-quality, impactful papers in "Circulation." Moving on, the next paper actually reminds us why this is a cardiovascular surgery-themed issue and not just a cardiac surgery-themed issue. Didn't we just say that earlier, Marc? This one is on abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment. A population-based landscape of this. Could you tell us a little bit more about that one? Dr. Marc Ruel: Absolutely. Carolyn, you're entirely right. We must remember that "Circulation" is also about peripheral vascular disease, saying this earlier, or cardiovascular surgery and anesthesia consult also when it encompasses vascular surgery. Precisely to that effect, one of the papers in our cardiovascular surgical-themed issue is a landscape population based analysis from Finland that looks at the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm between the years of 2000 and 2014. Finland has a population of about 5.5 million and remarkably has a very circumscribed healthcare system. They do not have an organized system of AAA care as some other countries have shown to have and potentially benefit from, but rather they have a treatment of this condition at several institutions, many of which may not be high volume. I think the paper is remarkable is that it is very well nested in terms of a population. It provides a comprehensive landscape of where this condition has evolved to over the last few years. Obviously, we see in the results from the authors that the mortality has decreased quite a bit, but also the incidence, probably as a result of better control of risk factors. And also the incidence of rupture outside the hospital. One thing that came out of this paper, as well, is a potential cohort of the benefits gained from developing an organized system of AAA care, from the reason that the mortality of AAA rupture in Finland was still quite high, despite this being a modern series. In fact, when you include ruptures, before arrival to hospital and at arrival to hospital, the overall mortality was almost 80% for ruptured AAA. Perhaps one message that comes out of this is that there may be a benefit in having specialized centers dealing with these conditions, especially as they are in the process of rupturing. One last observation was, obviously, the increasingly prevailing role of endoscopic vascular repair in the treatment of this condition, which, in fact, has now surpassed open repair as the dominant method of elective repair. I think, overall, a very comprehensive, well-nested, country-wide with good follow-up landscape of the AAA condition in a country that has essentially a similar socioeconomic status to much of the western world. Therefore, with external generalized ability to some extent. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Exactly, and contemporary data. I really enjoyed that you paired those with an excellent editorial, as well. Finally, before we wrap this up, I have to ask Tim to comment on this next paper, and it's on ventricular assist device malfunctions, I love the title, "It's More Than Just The Pump." Of course, as a heart failure physician, this one's very close to my heart. Forgive the pun. But, Tim, could you tell us about that? Dr. Timothy Gardner: This paper comes from the University of Pittsburgh and their artificial heart program. Robert Kormos is the first author and he's been one of the stalwart leaders in the use of LVADs and other pump devices. He reports on their experience with over 200 both HeartMate and HeartWare ventricular assist devices. It was interesting when we reviewed this paper by the editors, there was some thought that maybe this was a little too engineering focused and so on, but I think the point of the paper is that, as they say in the very first line in their report, reports of LVAD malfunction had focused on pump thrombosis. But they point out very appropriately that, in fact, controller failure, battery failure, cable failure and other causes of device failure, which can be critical and life threatening and so on, are engineering issues. It reminds us that when we're managing this difficult group of patients, and we're seeing many more patients today with getting LVADs than 10 or 20 years ago, we need to have the bioengineering abilities and resources available. Even the surgeon and the critical care physician who is dealing with these patients either has to acquire this kind of knowledge or capacity himself or herself, or needs to have a good bioengineer nearby. What's interesting, I think, that all of us define that these mechanical failures were more common in this pretty big experience than what we've more clinically worried about, which was thrombosis of the pump. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Exactly. That's so wonderful. And you know it just leads me to really thank you both, Marc and Tim, for this extraordinarily excellent selection of original research, state-of-the-art and perspective articles and editorials on congenital, coronary, vascular and heart failure surgery. This really appeals not just to the cardiovascular surgeons but really to the vast readership of "Circulation." Thank you for a wonderful themed issue and thank you for this great podcast. Dr. Timothy Gardner: Well, thank you. Dr. Marc Ruel: Thank you very much, Carolyn. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Listeners, don't forget to tune in again next week.

From diagnosis difficulties to defining gender: the effects of Vulvodynia on women today This edition has been funded by a grant from the Women’s Fund For Scotland. Vulvodynia is a nerve-based pain, often described as a burning or stinging sensation, which affects the vulva. 1 in 7 seven women are estimated to experience Vulvodynia at some stage during their life and the condition can be very distressing to live with, impacting on everything from clothing choices to relationships. Dr Winston de Mello explains why many women with Vulvodynia experience difficulties on the path to diagnosis and why GPs under pressure create a “postcode lottery” for those in pain without any visible symptoms. Dr Rebekah Shallcross describes what she found in her research into women’s experiences of Vulvodynia, including sexist treatment by some healthcare professionals, a lack of awareness of the condition within the medical community and the stigma associated with genital pain. The role played by penetrative sex in social constructions of female identity can create feelings of guilt and shame in patients with Vulvodynia where physical intimacy is problematised by pain, feelings which Dr Shallcross links with historical gender inequality and patriarchal attitudes towards sex. Gynaecology consultant Dr David Nunns discusses the importance of the “four Ps” in patient treatment and improving the lives of those with Vulvodynia: patient education, pain modification, physiotherapy and psychological support. Plus the importance of discourse in raising awareness and reducing pain and associated stress. Contributors: *Dr Winston de Mello, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine, University Hospital of South Manchester *Dr Rebekah Shallcross, trainee clinical psychologist and a research associate at the University of Manchester *Dr David Nunns, gynaecology consultant at Nottingham City Hospital and a trustee of the Vulval Pain Society.

One feature of Usain Bolt's track appearance generally overlooked by sports commentators are his expressions of faith. Does Britain have a problem with religion in sport? Dr Nick Watson and Dr Brian Hennings discuss with Caroline Wyatt, on the last day of the Rio Olympics. Caroline Wyatt talks to the Baptist Pastor, Evan Mawaire, who's taking on the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe. This year marks the 500th anniversary of the year that Martin Luther lit the spark that led to the Reformation. Rosie Dawson reports from the place where it all began - the German town of Wittenberg. "Clowning is about comedy and tragedy, death and resurrection." The only Church of England priest who was also a professional clown, Roly Bain, passed away this week. We reflect on his unique ministry. Kevin Bocquet reports on why a planning application for an Eruv in a usually quiet South Manchester suburb is facing opposition when it is something that works well in other parts of the country. A cave on the uninhabited Puerto Rican Island of Mona has revealed new insights into the religious dynamics between the indigenous population and European colonisers. Dr Alice Samson tells Caroline Wyatt about her explorations in the caves. Simon Loveday talks to Caroline Wyatt about his new book and self-proclaimed labour of love, "The Bible for Grown Ups". Editor: Christine Morgan Producers: Catherine Earlam David Cook.
