  • Summary

  • Welcome to Wild Card – Whose Shoes! Walking in the shoes of more interesting people 😉 My name is Gill Phillips and I’m the creator of Whose Shoes, a popular approach to coproduction and I am known for having an amazing network. Building on my inclusion in the Health Services Journal ‘WILD CARDS’, part of #HSJ100, and particularly the shoutout for ‘improving care for some of the most vulnerable in society through co-production’, I will be chatting to a really diverse group of people, providing a platform for them to speak about their experiences and opinions. If you are interested in the future of healthcare and like to hear what other people think, or perhaps even contribute at some point, ‘Whose Shoes Wild Card’ is for you!

    56. Becky Malby - Universal Healthcare National Inquiry
    Jul 7 2024

    Becky Malby - (Bookend 1)

    I was delighted when Professor Becky Malby asked me to host a special series of podcasts in collaboration with London South Bank University and the Universal Healthcare network.

    We are keen to tell you more about the Universal HealthCare National Inquiry report, why universal healthcare is so important and to introduce you to some of the movers and shakers who are making it happen in different parts of the country.

    To start (and later finish) the series, we are recording a couple of ‘bookends’, chatting to the inimitable Becky herself to find out more.

    Becky Malby is a well-known mover and shaker in the world of health care, and I've been proud to work closely with her over the last 10 years or more as an associate of the London South Bank University Health Innovation Lab, and specifically working with each cohort of Darzi fellows using the Whose Shoes? approach to coproduction and helping future healthcare leaders understand more about working with people and finding out what's important to them.

    I've always been a bit blown away by the work that Becky does, the common sense approach to working out what sits behind problems in healthcare systems, of finding radical and innovative ways to create the best care for people across boundaries.

    There is BIG synergy between the goals and values of universal healthcare and Whose Shoes?, for example, the report stresses the importance of seeing things from different perspectives, flattening the hierarchy and bringing people together to have open, honest conversations, to make change across the system. Start small and most importantly, start somewhere. #JFDI #NoHierarchyJustPeople

    There is also big synergy with the aims of my podcast in terms of seeking out exciting people who are developing innovative healthcare solutions, and sharing them widely. So it's a win win, and we're all excited to be doing this.

    So over coming episodes, I'm going to be talking to (at least! – it is having a bit of a snowball effect already!) four more special guests who will give us practical examples of universal health care in action and the difference it's making in their communities.

    So what is universal health care?

    Why does it matter?

    Are we in danger of medicalising poverty?

    What can we do to make things fairer?

    Find out by listening to Becky Malby here!

  • 55. Steven Russell - children in care deserve better

    55. Steven Russell - children in care deserve better
    Jun 16 2024
    When I originally set up the Wild Card - Whose Shoes podcast series, I wanted to provide a way of amplifying the voices of people who inspire me and who are making a difference. Steven Russell simply had to be a guest because his story is so important.

    Steven tells his own story of growing up as a child in care, the emotional trauma and insecurity that can result, but showing huge resilience and strength, surviving the system.

    Everyone who works with children or has children in their lives needs to hear it – such an eye-opener about trust, relationships, language, assumptions and so much more.

    Steven is now inspiring children and young people in similar circumstances to believe that they can be anything they want to be, and role modelling this in such a powerful way.

    Steven’s own childhood story is so powerful we focused on that and will record Part 2 to tell you more about this work. You can find out more in the links – Elements - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! #DripByDrip #DayByDay

    Huge synergy with the #MPFTWhoseShoes project we are doing with the Children and Families’ team of Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust, using Whose Shoes to explore different aspects of their service and how it can be improved. Our forthcoming module, to be launched on 15 July, explores the topic of helping children in care have happy, successful lives.

    • You have to find your own path; no-one can do it for you
    • Commit your goals to paper; make it real
    • Start small and build - drip by drip, day by day
    • We all need someone to believe in us
    • Looking back at a turbulent childhood through adult eyes brings new understanding
    • You can't force trust - you have to grow relationships
    • Care records need to be written with sensitivity for the grown-up child to read one day
    • Loads of different adults telling you different things is confusing and traumatic
    • Learning about your past while still navigating the care system can be overwhelming
    • The organismic self - the itch inside you that makes you YOU, desite everything
    • Nature versus nurture - fascinating!
    • Living in care made Steven super adaptable
    • Stories resonate because all human beings connect!

  • 54. Mary Salama - connecting across boundaries

    54. Mary Salama - connecting across boundaries
    May 5 2024
    I’m so excited to be talking to my good friend Mary Salama, a wonderful consultant paediatrician in Birmingham.

    Mary is one of my absolute faves - a lovely, warm person, who makes extraordinary things happen, rather than just talking about what needs to change.

    And to do that for children and young people, has to be the very best thing!

    Driven by frustration and a deep understanding of the need to improve healthcare systems, Mary focuses on human factors and connecting across boundaries.

    Mary is leading the way with coproduction and empowering young people, including enabling them to present community research to clinicians at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Clinical Health.

    • Be curious and furious about bringing real action
    • Children with clinically complex needs need to go home rather than staying in hospital, if non-medical factors are holding them back – find a way to make it happen
    • Listen deeply, learning the language and drivers people are using
    • The Canal and Powering Up projects are EXCELLENT examples of coproduction - enabling young people to share their ideas about the future of health care
    • Coproduction must be authentic, starting with relationship building and creating the conditions for people to feel safe to discuss difficult topics
    • Learning from Excellence is powerful
    • Networking leads to meaningful connections and potential solutions to share challenges
    • Witnessing positive connections can give people hope and inspire ripples and action, way beyond the original conversations
    • Use all platforms to amplify the best ideas within the NHS and save people from re-inventing the wheel
    • Break out of tribal silos!
    • Use creativity to make your voice heard - pink hats, lemons or whatever it takes! #JFDI and don’t forget to have fun!
    • Lyse Edwards talks about a Harry Potter version of Whose Shoes; Mary talks of a Mary Poppins toolkit!
    • Hold an #IntentionalCoffee with someone who inspires you ☕☕️
