Description

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! Find me on Twitter @WhoseShoes and @WildCardWS and dive into https://padlet.com/WhoseShoes/overview to find out more! Artwork aided and abetted by Anna Geyer, New Possibilities.

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 seri...
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 live...
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 boundar...
I first met Angela Catley in the very early days of Whose Shoes?, so back in about 2009, when she did a very lively and slightly bonkers presentation at a conference. I remember how Angela used her slides as just a very rough guide, while telling wonderful stories, and occasionally flicking on from one slide to the next as she went. I found it refreshing!It was full of energy, and she spoke common sense which really resonated with me. She despaired about bureaucracy and talke...
Today, I invite you to meet Dr Matt Hill – I hope you enjoy the warmth and wisdom he brings to this podcast series as much as I do!I heard Matt speaking at the online NNAP conference, the National Neonatal Audit Programme, which showcased best practice in neonatal care. Matt is the Clinical Adviser on Safety Culture for NHS England and was one of the keynote speakers.He was talking about creating the conditions for a perinatal team to flourish – but it became clear to me that what ...
Hey, it’s great to be back! 🍋🍋🍋So, for all those who enjoy the ‘Wild Card - Whose Shoes?’ podcast, welcome to Season 2! It has been lovely to hear from so many of you, saying that you are missing the podcast and asking when it is coming back. Well, here it is! At the beginning of last year, 2023, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. And not for the first time. Being quite a private person, but also quite out there, in terms of Whose Shoes events, social media, hosting a podcas...
A blaze of ‘lemon lightbulbs’ today talking to Kate Pound, a fabulous nurse focusing on ‘JUST DO IT’ actions that make a big difference. Kate grew up in a hostel for fishermen and that rich and varied experience gave her a deep understanding of people and the imagination to find alternative ways of reaching the so-called ‘hard to reach’. She is a great storyteller and you will pick up LOTS of practical tips. Kate is a trustee of the Fishermen’s Mission and we would love you to lear...
Building on the theme of storytelling and creativity. How do we get people to come along to our events? What is Whose Shoes anyway? Today I am talking to Lyse Edwards and Rachel Crook from the Children and Families team at Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust as we prepare for our forthcoming Whose Shoes events in May - looking to make care more holistic for children and families and to improve perinatal mental health.We talk about some of the more creative methods we ar...

BIG RIPPLES!!🍋🍋🍋 Enjoy! Lemon lightbulbs 🍋💡🍋‘Wild Card – Wh...
People ask me about the Whose Shoes story?🍋 How did I come to produce a board game? 🍋 What inspired it?🍋 Has it changed much over the years?Well, on 2 Feb, Kristin Johnstad from Minneapolis, invited me to tell my story at a Liberating Structures Q Community group, using 'Shift and Share' - hopping between breakout rooms, telling the same story to different groups. It was fun getting the reaction and questions from an international audience.It led to a whole month of storytelling ad...
Rosie Murphy is a midwife doing fantastic work around health inequalities, including the coproduction workshop we co-led in Croydon.Our conversation builds on Episode 45 with Noreen Bukhari. I hope Rosie and Noreen will connect and exchange notes on their excellent work in Coventry and Croydon, supporting women from black and ethnic minority communities.I met and became friends with Rosie through her prestigious Darzi fellowship – Rosie's work was rated as exceptional.Lemon lightbulbs 🍋...
Health inequalities are in the news at the moment, with NHS organisations setting out to understand and address them, with a strong focus on the needs of people from different cultural backgrounds.But where do third sector (community) groups fit in? How do you build trust with women and families from Black and ethnic minority communities and design services that are flexible enough to meet people’s needs?It is not a quick fix.They seem to be doing something right in Coventry but it...
Happy New Year - and thank you for listening! For pretty much the first time ever, I’m starting the New Year with a plan. Or at least I thought I was. But, in the words of John Lennon, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” so perhaps planning is overrated. Whose Shoes has had a pretty crazy, organic development up until now, so I’m sure it will continue to find its own course. We’ll see. So, in this podcast, I look ahead to some of the Whose Shoes ...

It has something...

Rachel is a strong advocate for patient partnership; her organisation is highly influential, helping patient voices be heard by NHS England and the government.I'm hoping that this important conversation will form a bit of a 'pincer movement' with Episode ...
So today I am fulfilling a pledge. If you look at the Purple Rainbow website, you can make pledges #SomethingForSeth, as part of the legacy for Seth Goodburn, who sadly died of pancreatic cancer in 2014.
