#292 Monthly leadership questions to keep you on track
This week’s Business of Healthcare episode is a journey through the intricacies of leadership and management in the healthcare sector – and a treasure trove for PCN leaders who are looking to refine their strategic vision and strengthen team dynamics. We explore the crucial framework of questions that I apply both within my team and when advising primary care network clients. These questions serve as a diagnostic tool to help leaders stay on course or make necessary pivots to achieve their objectives: When was the last time I reinforced the vision of the network / business? Are there enough connection points/ drumbeats internally and externally? Are roles and responsibilities clear within the network and my colleagues at THC? What is my role as the Primary Care Development Manager at THC and with the client? Am I clear? What training is available for me and for my PCN team/ clients? Are business tools being fully utilised? What are my / network/ business goals? What are we trying to achieve? How are we progressing against the goals? Am I being efficient with my time and only doing the things I need to be doing? What do I need to start, stop and continue doing? From discussing how often to revisit your organisation's vision, to evaluating the adequacy of internal and external connection points, tune in for an episode rich with practical advice - and to discover how to maintain momentum and clarity in your leadership role.

#285 Reframing what it means to move with Hannah Beecham MBE
Today, I bring you a heartfelt conversation with Hannah Beecham MBE, the visionary behind Red January, who shares her story of transforming her mother's struggle with mental health into a nationwide call to action. We take a deep look at how integrating fitness into our daily lives can be a lifeline, improving not only our physical health but also our mental resilience. Engage with us as we celebrate the small victories that come from the simple act of moving and how it can lead to profound changes in our productivity and emotional well-being. This episode isn't just about personal battles; it's about the collective spirit of overcoming the winter blues through the power of community and movement. Hannah and I examine the blossoming partnership with the National Academy for Social Prescribing and how setting shared goals, like those of Mohan Sekeram and his colleagues, can make a significant impact. We also highlight the importance of supporting mental health beyond our own, with Red January participants raising funds for crucial projects. It's an open invitation to find strength in numbers, to feel supported by the Red Community, and to discover how a commitment to fitness can be the gateway to a healthier, happier you all year round.
