You Care, I Care

You Care I Care returns for a new series of podcasts about the care sector and the NHS

Dr Nichola Ashby, Director of the Axis Culture Group and Steve Watson from the Nursing Management Consultancy discuss the need for a much more co-ordinated service between the NHS and Care

Chantal Karyta from Elite Mindset Therapy talks about her life changes and starting a business following moving to South Africa in 2018.

With a degree in psychology and having had a dog behavioural business which in fact she still has, Chantal realised that some parts of her life needed to change.

From a lockdown moment to running a successful therapy business along with her retreats, Chantal talks about what motivates her how her business is a part of care we often don't talk about enough.

Vicky Whipp of Sage & Elder talks about moving home in later life and the way in which she can help her clients from an initial conversation around what they are looking for to sourcing appropriate properties in the area they are looking to move to.

The service covers a wide variety of aspects that people may or may not have thought of and Vicky talks about the love of what she does with both enthusiasm and empathy

I have been very honoured to be able to have Baroness Lister of Burtersett on my my podcast You Care, I Care, discussing the issues around child poverty and the issues faced by families today.

Having written and worked on many books and articles about poverty, social security and women's citizenship, it was absolutely fascinating and a real learning curve for me to be able to discuss so many issues that are often brushed under the carpet.

There was much more we could have and hopefully will discuss further in the future but it is really a very interesting discussion with Ruth which did at times cover some controversial issues

Sophie has been involved in the care sector from a very young age when her mother started providing care to people in her own home.

From there Sophie continued working in care and is a Director of Manor Community Care.

Sophie's passion for providing care and support across all sectors is very evident and her work with Coproduce Care ensuring up to date topics are discussed and information is available, along with working with the Care Workers Charity is truly inspirational.

Having met Gemma Kenney and Kaylee Mowatt last year and discussed their private Occupational Therapy practice they have built over the last few years, it was an absolute pleasure to talk with them and discuss their work.

I understand that we always refer to them as OTs but they explain what an Occupational Therapist works and how they help their patients become ever more independent.

Having not done a solo podcast for some time, Janet Shreeve updates her plans for the next few months and highlights some of the clients she works with.

Exciting times ahead with various projects and looking forward to where things will go

Calin Istrate having qualified as a nurse and moved to the UK decided to set up Homecare Ipswich providing domiciliary care and complex care in Suffolk.

Calin decided to work in the care sector and qualify as a nurse after his mother fell ill.  He could have remained working in the construction sector but knew that he really wanted to help support people.

He is one of the few agencies in the Ipswich area who is able to take on TDDI clients, (Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury) and is developing his business to take on more complex cases.

Calin is able to support clients with their Attendance Allowance and also with CHC applications.

Talking with Calin about his plans for the business and the ethos around his business is inspiring.

I had the pleasure to speak with Nina Parry of Nina's Law about her life, her campaign and her plans for change.

Nina was in Thaliand when the Tsunami happened, and she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis less than a year later.  

Having had to adapt her daily routine, life plans and family around the ever increasing complexity of living with MS, Nina started  the campaign for Nina's Law which would enable people who have complex needs to be able to have their regular carers with them when they are admitted to hospital.  

The reason for this is that regular carers understand their clients and the importance of this cannot be underestimated.  Some hospitals like the Great Western Hospital in Swindon are very supportive but others are far less so.

Nina has many MPs who are also supporting her with her campaign and she has nearly 46000 signatures already.
