2 more tales from clinicians, Jon and Helen who have made the move into a different, but related careers. And a real-time account from Martin Christensen who only stopped working as a physio 2 weeks ago. He's not sure yet, if he's jumped from the frying pan, into the fire!

With: Kim Knight, Orla O'Doherty, Jane Mitchell, Simon Pearce

Hear the inspiring journeys of four physiotherapists who successfully transitioned into new careers. Each interview delves into their motivations, that moment when they decided to make the move, things they miss and things they don't.

In their own way, each of my guests has explored the art of career reinvention and the power of following your passion.

Quality Improvement doesn't need to be anxiety inducing (those notes audits!)

Jo Kitchen, network co-ordinator for Allied Health Professionals Quality Improvement (AHPQI) explains that it simply means finding ways to make things better. When asked "What matters to you?" many therapists responded that knowing they were delivering a quality service, improved their sense of fulfilment and well-being. Jo describes how she has learned to include everyone (service users and those delivering services) in discussions around 'how we got here, what the problems and potential solutions might be' - rather than feeling she has to go it alone and fix everything herself.

Becki is an NHS Doctor, supporting sensitive people to change the world, without changing themsleves.

What if, as a sensitive person, you could stay, and actively thrive in healthcare?

Becki has done just that. Listen to her inspiring story, full of tips for any of you who might've been told, and probably tried to be more resilient, but who know that cap doesn't fit.

This month I'm celebrating the 40th episode of You Matter and my 20th wedding anniversary, so who better to welcome as my special guest but Mr Ian Turner.

Ian has the dubious pleasure of being the husband, son and son-in-law of a physio, so he's well qualified to pass opinion on our qualities, quirks and qualms.

In this episode we talk about why the tennis backhand is better than the forehand, about the frog who went a wooing.....oh and a bit about Tom's writing career.

I approached Charli when I noticed that, as well as being a clinician, she is also a celebrant. What I didn't know is that she is also a wine expert, a gay, autistic woman with ADHD who is in the middle of a phd looking at the effect of rubber pitch services on injury in male rugby players.
And we cover all of that in this epsiode!

Siobhan Cowling talks to me about what led her to leave Physiotherapy, coping with the transition, what she misses about work, the negatives, 'Who am I?' and the positives, the tips and tricks she's learned along the way.

Siobhan says she still hasn't become comfortable with the R word, but she's found a great alternative and is loving her refirement!
