This week, when we return to our normal format we are joined by Community Pharmacist Dr Berwyn Owen. Berwyn is a pharmacy proprietor and prescriber in North Wales. Formerly a Chief Pharmacist and a member of the General Pharmaceutical Council he is well placed to discuss what the future of medicines management looks like through the lens of community pharmacy.  Drawing on his wide ranging experience which includes stints in pharmaceutical research and as Programme Director for the Medicines Management programme for the NHS, we explore how the NHS is going to cope with the growing burden of chronic disease, and how pharmacies at the heart of communities could develop to provide so much more care.This is a joyous meander through Berwyn's career and his own plans for the creation of a healthcare hub at the heart of his village in Penygroes. “You've lifted this town” is how one of his patients described the effect the developments are having.Steve is away this week and so we are joined by the Fourth Apothecary, Clare Howard. As a basis for our discussion we reference the recent report by the Bevan Commission ‘The Future Foundations for the future of healthcare' https://bevancommission.org/the-future-foundations-for-the-future-model-of-health-and-care-in-wales/ as well as the current pharmacy strategy in Wales ‘Pharmacy: Delivering a Healthier Wales' https://www.rpharms.com/wales/pharmacy-delivering-a-healthier-wales. As with all of our guests, Berwyn shares with us his Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced their career or life. Dr Berwyn Owen - Biography Berwyn Owen is the former Chief Pharmacist at Betsi Cadwaladr University HealthBoard, North Wales.

I met Julian Richards at a wedding recently, and as we chatted immediately he felt like 'a brother from the same Father...'!  He's the National Leader for New Wine Cymru (that means Wales in case anyone wonders), working together with over 700 other churches to collectively and collaboratively grow to help leaders develop healthy churches to win the nation.  With his wife Sarah he leads Cornerstone, a high impact church  they founded in 1991 Swansea with a handful of young people in one of the most deprived areas of the city. Today this thriving church is known across Wales for its community work, people finding Christ regularly and many physical healings. In 2014 they opened Venue2, a former supermarket, as a second Cornerstone site, which is where I met him. Julian co-founded Gweini (meaning ‘to serve' in Welsh), representing Christian, faith-based community work to the Welsh Assembly Government and wider society.   He tells the story as we meet of how from very small beginnings but a commitment to missional growth and effectiveness, many other churches and ministries have been birthed, leaders equipped and local communities  transformed through the power of Christ and his kingdom. This is a story of miraculous provision and remarkable spiritual openness in our culture that they are seeing more than ever (3700 people prayed to receive Christ in 9 days), but Julian is convinced the answer for Wales (and everywhere else) is NOT for 'another Welsh Revival' dropped down from above, but by disciples faithfully serving, loving and winning their neighbours and nation for Christ.  We discuss;  How what you learn as a skint church planter can set you up for a life of faith and impact rather than having it all set up in advance.  What Bible college never taught you about faith.  The difference between optimism and faith.  Why we need courage as well as faith!  Why we need to change our model of mission and ministry.  New Wine Cymru - how it's similar and different to New Wine in England and elsewhere, as a non government collaborative model for effective mission.    Connect with Julian - https://newwinecymru.co.uk/about/whos-who Or via:  https://www.cornerstonechurch.co.uk   Julian is going to join us at https://www.launchcatalyst.org and it's not too late for you and your friends and team to book in and join us too whether in the North or the South of England.     

We're back with another round of PGCE research bites! And we welcome back Matthew Green, who's been finding out how we can best encourage high quality literacy in the music classroom. Hopefully the mix of research and classroom-based enquiry and reflection will be a great worked example for our serving teacher friends!

  Today’s Guest I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey! Today, we talk about the philosophy of “no pain, no gain” and how it applies to healing and personal development. Is it necessary? Is it an important part of healing? Are there times when we need to step aside from the more gentle types of healing and therapy and turn to something a bit more intense? Is this kind of healing right for everyone? And how do you know if it's right for you? In this episode, we explore the world of more intense therapies, based on some recent personal experience.   About Jo Casey Jo Casey has over 20 years experience of working as a trainer and consultant in the corporate, public and third sectors.

    Today’s Guest I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey! Today, we talk about spirit guides, our higher self, and tapping into our intuition. We discuss whether or not it’s disempowering to get guidance from external sources, and whether we should just rely on our intuition and our higher self for everything. This was inspired by an email Holly received from a listener: Spirit guides versus inner self! This has been on my mind for a while and has come to the foreground while I've been taking Lisa MW's WooWoo101 course I've been wondering; if you rely on spirit guides for guidance, is that not... disempowering? Your inner self has all the answers, right? So is looking to spirit guides, or things like pendulums etc, not giving your power away? Is it trusting external factors rather than trusting your own inner guidance? Or are they simply all coming from the same place? I'd love to have more clarity on this, since it feels a little woolly in my head.   About Jo Casey Jo Casey has over 20 years experience of working as a trainer and consultant in the corporate, public and third sectors.

Do things like lineage and ancestors come into play? Are angels, ghosts, and ancestors etc akin to spirit guides? What are they trying to guide us to/from? What is your higher self? How do you know the difference? Do you hear voices? See things? How do you know you’re not just making it all up? Is listening to guides abdicating responsibility to someone/something else?

  Today’s Guest I'm very pleased to be back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey. It’s been a few months since we did an episode together...in fact, our last one was in May! My business has taken a turn in a new direction since then, and since I’m more focused on my writing and on helping people connect more deeply to themselves through connecting with Nature, we thought it would be fun -- and interesting! -- for our podcast episodes together to take on more of a metaphysical focus, so we’ll be talking about all things woo. Think of it as “everything you ever wanted to know about intuition, woo and witchcraft but were too afraid to ask!” In this very first “woo” episode, we’ll be talking about our own personal journeys to woo, and how you can benefit from connecting to your own woo.   About Jo Casey Jo Casey has over 20 years experience of working as a trainer and consultant in the corporate, public and third sectors.

  Today’s Guest I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey! In this week's episode, we discuss one of the biggest fears we've experienced, something that we also see in clients on a regular basis: What will people think? Will they like me? This is something that I've personally struggled a lot with, and it's something that really held me back in the past. Once I learned how to reprogram my beliefs, it really made it easier for me to take action despite these thoughts. As I grow, and take bigger actions, they often trigger a new version of these limiting beliefs, but I now have the tools to work through them. Today, you'll learn what you can do to overcome these beliefs. About Jo Casey Jo Casey has over 20 years experience of working as a trainer and consultant in the corporate, public and third sectors.

Today’s Guest I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey! Today, we talk about who heals the healers, and who coaches the coaches. Where do we go to get help when we need it? We're not used to being vulnerable, and often we feel like we have to show everyone that we've got our shit together. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help when we're used to being the receptacle for other people's stuff. People always say to be vulnerable and share the shit when we're on the other side and can talk about the learning experience, but where do we go when we're in the middle of the shit?

  Today’s Guest I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey! Today's episode was inspired by a post that someone made in my Facebook group: “Hey Holly, I’ve been thinking about something just lately, and wondered if anyone has some thoughts about this? When you’re not making the progress you want in your business, how do you know if: You’re reluctant to move out of your comfort zone and step up (in which case, it may be worth pursuing, gently); or 2. What you want to do (or think you should do) is out of alignment with your values (in which case it should probably be abandoned)? Both these situations can feel like fear, reluctance, or lead to procrastination. How do you tell the difference if it feels ‘off’ but you’re not quite sure why? This is something I’d love to hear you and Jo discuss on the podcast!” Today, using me as an example, we talk about the difference between misalignment and fear. Some people can “solve” this dilemma using logic, but those of us who are more intuitive can really struggle with being in this type of situation. The differences are very subtle, and it's worth digging deeper into this topic to get clarity on what's exactly going on so we can know exactly what to do.

ABSTRACT: Government policy in the UK and abroad is pushing hard the carbon agenda, with buildings as a main target. The current focus, to achieve zero carbon operating performance of new buildings, has generated a number of concerns; what is zero carbon? What about existing buildings? What about embodied energy? Can the construction industry be innovative? How much does it all cost? Who will deliver it? This talk will consider the possibility of a future zero carbon built environment. BIOGRAPHY: Phil Jones is Professor of Architectural Science and Head of School at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. He chairs the Wales Low Carbon Research Institute, a consortium of six Welsh universities with industry partners, set up with support from the Welsh Assembly Government to help it achieve its ambitious targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Wales. He recently chaired the EU COST Action C23, ‘Low Carbon Urban Built Environments’ which looked at how its 19 EU partner countries are addressing the low carbon agenda at building and urban scale.
