    I usually have this on my playlist for when I'm commuting and Tara uses her interview skills to bring energy insight and clarity to these podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#369 Funding, Advocacy & What Needs to Change with Dr Steve Taylor
Q: What concrete funding change is being advocated for, and why is it important for patient care?
He argues for an increase to about £40 per patient per year to restore funding to levels seen a decade ago, enabling better staffing, continuity of care, and more sustainable patient services.
#368 Neighbourhoods, PCNs & The Future of Primary Care with Ben Gowland
Q: What were your initial reactions to the GP contract letter?
The reaction leaned toward cautious reassessment: while there was disappointment about the process, there was recognition that the letter signifies a broader shift toward neighbourhood-led governance and an emphasis on how PCNs can partner with ICBs and voluntary sectors, even as funding and implementation questions remain.
#358 How can we create change with Professor Partha Karr
Q: What advice does he offer to aspiring leaders in healthcare?
Build alliances, be clear about your limits, pursue leadership training if it fits your style, and stay focused on delivering outcomes while expanding the circle of influence one project at a time.
#358 How can we create change with Professor Partha Karr
Q: What advances in Type 1 Diabetes management does he see on the horizon?
A shift toward non-invasive glucose sensing, closed-loop systems (artificial pancreas), and broader access to CGMs across populations, with a focus on improving sleep and quality of life for families managing diabetes.
#358 How can we create change with Professor Partha Karr
Q: How does he approach influencing at different levels of the NHS?
He emphasizes understanding groups of people (those convinced, those unsure, those indifferent, and those opposed) and using data and allies to move the majority toward the vision without getting bogged down by the hardest-to-convince minority.
