6.10 Tommy Whitelaw - Intelligent Kindness & Gentle Honesty - listening is the best medicine
Season 6 · Episode 10
vendredi 28 juin 2024 • Duration 51:20
Join us for the last episode of series six and a joyful exploration of the importance and reality of person centred care.
For five years Tommy Whitelaw was a full-time carer for his late mother Joan who had Vascular Dementia. In 2011 he undertook a walk around Scotland’s towns and cities to collect hundreds of life stories and letters detailing the experiences of individuals who care for a loved one living with dementia. It was a journey that taught him the importance of gentle honesty, that Civility really does Saves Lives and that listening really is the best drug available.
We find out how an intervention by his local community pharmacist ‘gave him his Mum back’. We discuss the concept of ‘intelligent kindness’ and how the impact of being busy affects our ability to care. ‘When we are busy we do less of the beautiful stuff first…’
We delve deeper into the topic of Intelligent Kindness when we discus Effecting Change - Evidencing Culture Change in Compassionate Care https://www.alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/news/effecting-change-evidencing-culture-change-on-person-centred-care/
Tommy highlights the importance of music for people with dementia (and those caring for them). Check out Playlist for Life, a music and dementia charity. The charity was founded in 2013 by writer and broadcaster Sally Magnusson after the death of her mother, Mamie, who had dementia. Their vision is simple: For everyone with dementia to have a unique, personalised playlist, and everyone who loves or cares for them to know how to use it. https://www.playlistforlife.org.uk/
As with all of our guests, Tommy shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced his career or life.
Tommy works for Person Centred Voices, an ALLIANCE project that works to promote person centred practices in public sector organisations in Scotland; that is, to advocate for personalisation, empowerment and shared decision making across all areas of care and support. He has also had a fantastic career on the road as a tour manager for many of the Worlds best known bands. This has inspired him to hold a bi-annual ‘Concert for Carer’s’.

6.9 Ann-Marie Goacher. The Eyes: A Window to Our Health
Season 6 · Episode 8
vendredi 7 juin 2024 • Duration 53:04
Pain in the eye? It is a red-flag all healthcare professionals are trained to be aware of. But when spotted, who deals with it? We are joined by Specialist Head and Neck Pharmacist Ann Marie Goacher. Ann Marie describes her journey from a local community pharmacist in Ireland to being the lead pharmacist for the head and neck directorate at University Hospitals Sussex. What does an ophthalmic and specialist uveitis pharmacist do?
We talk to Ann Marie about her passion for eye care, and the importance of getting back to basics with the simple act of administration. Glaucoma can be better managed simply by ‘knowing your drops’ yet it is a neglected area of care. We discuss how off-licence use of drugs for a common eye condition has saved the NHS millions and the controversies that surround this.
For our micro-discussion we look at The burden of acute eye conditions on different healthcare providers: a retrospective population-based study, a paper that looks at the public awareness of community eyecare services in a world where the demand for acute eyecare exponentially outstrips capacity. https://bjgp.org/content/74/741/e264
Further information on the ‘Know your Drops’ campaign can be found on the website of Moorfields Eye Hospital https://www.moorfields.nhs.uk/for-patients/information-hub.
Ann Marie was spotted as a guest for the podcast after having the misfortune to sit next to Jamie on a plane. The topic of the conversation was the book she was reading - which happened to be written by her Father. “Once there was a boy who survived” by Maurice Heffernan which tells the story his early days in an orphanage in Ireland to his tumultuous journey through foster care, institutionalisation, and forced labour https://www.amazon.co.uk/Once-There-was-Boy-Survived/dp/1915502667.
The “statistics made simple and relevant” podcasts with James McCormack mentioned in the episode can be found here https://therapeuticseducation.org/podcast-episode-list/
As with all of our guests, Ann Marie shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced her career or life.

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 • Duration 01:04:43
Pull up a chair and join the Three Apothecaries around the fire for our end-of-year chat with friends and colleagues Clare Howard and Jonathan Underhill to discuss another dramatic year.What will 2023 be remembered for? Was it the Year of Community Pharmacy or of Artificial Intelligence? Who would win in a fight – ChatGPT or a clinical pharmacist? How should NICE determine Quality of Life? And what is it that Gimmo and Steve are drinking?!
2023 was also a year of loss. The team reflects on those who are no longer with us and the impact loss and experiencing end of life care has had both on us personally and professionally. We discuss how our special patient focussed series has had a profound impact on how we think about shared decision making.
We also share some exciting news – a show aimed at members of the public. Join us at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff on Jan 20th for ‘The three apothecaries: Medicines, Music and Memories https://www.chapter.org/whats-on/the-three-apothecaries-medicines-music-and-memories-podcast-jamie-hayes.

5.9 - Louise Trewern - Joining the dots around chronic pain
Season 5 · Episode 9
jeudi 29 juin 2023 • Duration 01:01:32
How do we manage Chronic Pain? This week we talk to Louise Trewern of Living Well with Pain, who has herself lived with chronic pain since childhood. After years of strange illnesses, infections and persistent pain Louise was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and prescribed a stupor-inducing cocktail of opioids, antidepressants and benzodiazepines. We chat to Louise about how she discovered a different approach to self-management that she attributes to saving her life. It is a story that challenges widely held convictions about how pain is managed and the importance of treating a patient as a person and not a symptom.
We continue the development of our ‘NHS Tonic’ - the treatments our guests prescribe to cure our ailing NHS.
As with all of our guests, Louise shares with us a Memory Evoking Medicine, a life anthem and book that has influenced her life.
