Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

Auteur(s): Gill Phillips @WhoseShoes
  • Résumé

  • 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.

  • 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
    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.


    Lemon lightbulbs 🍋💡🍋

    • 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 ☕☕️

  • 53. Angela Catley - When I Get Old
    Apr 7 2024

    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 talked about HR type functions as the ‘Stuff department’ - often stuff getting in the way of organisations, and particularly good small providers, trying to get on and run a quality service.

    You can feel the synergy to my #WhoseShoes work!

    Angela was working for Community Catalysts, enabling everyday people to develop brilliant, quirky, creative, life-enhancing solutions to their own challenges. I loved it!

    Fast forward … in this episode, we talk about the ‘When I Get Old’ campaign.

    We link up with other social movements that celebrate and support people’s strengths rather than their weaknesses, and focus on what matters to people.

    How we can all get the best out of systems to live – and carry on living – our best lives?
    Even when we get old.

    Many of us have banged the drum for our parents, trying to get the best for them. But we can only pick from available choices, and often we know that this is NOT what they wanted.

    Have YOU got a clear plan as to what you would like to happen … or are you going ‘La, la, la, la …. Ooooh heck!

    Lemon lightbulbs 🍋💡🍋

    • Be curious and furious - Furiosity! (shoutout to Mark Adam Smith!)
    • There are SO many splendid, creative people - connect with them!
    • Discover your shared passions - have conversations!
    • Ageing - plan ahead - we can switch from ‘Us’ to ‘Them’ in seconds
    • Care Land. Stuff. … keep it real for real people
    • Collaborate - join up with like-minded movements. #StrongerTogether
    • Head in the sand leads to … La, La,La, La,La ….. oooooh heck!
    • Life is a lottery. We can’t all be David Attenborough in the ageing stakes
    • Will the options you would choose even exist?
    • Crisis … is never a good time to make decisions
    • Creativity can help unlock imaginative solutions
    • The power of the self-funding pound. Own your paying power!
    • Get involved in the #WhenIGetOld campaign!
    • Personal choice is specific - not just wine or beer
    • Think differently - chat to your friends to see what emerges
    • Some great solutions are potentially right there - in your community!
    • Don’t let services - eg befriending services - get in the way of friendship
    • Relationships matter! Cultivate them and defend them … with furiosity!
