The keys to Surviving and Thriving inside and outside a life of service are attending to physiological needs, self esteem, mental well-being as well as achieving purpose in life.
Join me as I chat to Ashley Pawson, former Royal Marine Commando about finding his purpose inside and outside of the Royal Marines.
The search for a community attracted him to a career in the forces but ironically his desire to provide for family and friends brought him out of service.
Transitioning to a life outside was difficult and after hitting rock bottom he got his life back on track and is now thriving. His mission now is to give back and help others who will follow a similar path.
Getting the right information at the right time is key for those transitioning out of service. iOWNA supports the forces and can provide a digital solution to this problem.

We need a coordinated medical response to the war, enriched with clinical training to equip clinicians to deal with medical issues that arise as a result of war, so in times of urgency, we are prepared for any outcome.
Patient empowerment is also key to a sustainable effort and thanks to companies like iOWNA we are a step closer to achieving this.
"This is time to develop a well thought out & coordinated plan that could be used as a roll out for any conflict so we are ready to go into battle." Prof Carlos Pavesio

How does it feel to be Ukrainian living away from Ukraine right now? What defines the essence of Ukrainian culture and the psyche of the average Ukrainian person?
The answer is resilience, hard work, family values and a strong sense of community according to Dr Larissa Derzko-Dzulynsky, associate professor of ophthalmology at the University of Toronto. A friend and former colleague of Dr Millie's,Dr Derzkoās call to action is to assemble supplies for those suffering with eye trauma in the war.

There must be a new deal with the public to invest in their own health; to take ownership of their well-being. To make this a reality, clinicians need to empower their patients to look after their health and wellness as well as provide them with personalised information.
The government also needs to provide a mandate for clinician-patient engagement in this new era of healthcare.

Pain is a widespread problem but what causes it? Is pain an illusion? Why do some patients experience higher or lower levels than others? How do we help people who deal with pain live longer, healthier and happier lives?
We need to actively listen to people with pain and even though we canāt see it, we can try to work with those who suffer and help them live healthier, happier lives.
"Pain comes from physical, mental and spiritual damage and can be triggered by conditions of the mind, heart as well as by physical illness.ā Dr Millie

Long Covid or post Covid syndrome remains somewhat of an enigma to clinicians and patients alike. As doctors we want to understand how to diagnose, treat and help our patients with it.
We need to listen carefully to our patients and hear their concerns and worries, as it can be a frightening, frustrating and exhausting experience.
Join me as I chat to Dr Tamsin Lewis, a resilient athlete and doctor who shares her experience with us candidly and bravely.

Tune into my conversation on digital solutions for health and care as I take a deep dive into staff choices around digitising the NHS, patient empowerment and digital sustainability with Prof Joe Harrison, CEO of Milton Keynes University Hospital.
The pandemic has brought forth change in patient care and there is no going back. We have a lot to learn from this flagship NHS digital hospital on how we move forwards to a better future in terms of health and social outcomes.
āPatient empowerment is the most important factor here and getting sustainable digital solutions to support health and care.ā Prof Joe Harrison
-
Do digital solutions enhance care and make patients and clinicians lives better? The answer is yes. Especially when deployed in a sustainable, collaborative way working with teams at the front line of care delivery.
It is important to develop easy to use, secure tools that save time on repetitive tasks to free up more time for those that need it.
One digital and key pathway at Milton Keynes University Hospital saves hours each week of nurses' time and reduces patient waiting lists. Join me as I chat to Nicola Daly RN, trailblazer and Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Milton Keynes University Hospital, creating a bridge between traditional and digital healthcare.

Long Covid, otherwise known as the āpost covid syndromeā is a multi system condition affecting the individual physically, mentally and emotionally. It has pushed health service resources to the limits of their capacity and is widely impacting our society.
It can masquerade as other common illnesses, so as clinicians, we have learned we must keep an open mind on diagnosis in order for other pathologies not to be falsely attributed to it, as not everything is long Covid.
Key to dealing with it are effective programs of collaboration and shared learning among specialists, hospitals and indeed insurers (as many people are crossing over into the private sector to seek answers and solutions).
The pandemic brought the country down on its knees, but many great innovations and learnings have come to light to help us rise up again, better and stronger than before.

Covid has affected many acute and chronic services, both across the nation and globally, leading to long waiting times for both hospital appointments and surgeries and a severe backlog of cases. Interestingly, some patients self-manage their pain and symptoms resolve, especially for back pain.
Ways of working have changed during the pandemic with increasing virtual hybrid working set ups. We discuss the importance of face to face consults especially with surgeons and how this builds doctor-patient relationships.
Virtual work is a necessity but often not ideal for gaining trust of those that suffer. Join me in conversation with Mr Bell, a leading spinal surgeon to find out more about the challenges faced by surgeons in the face of Covid.
āAs a surgeon you have to develop a close and trusting relationship with your patients.ā Mr David Bell

As we come to the end of 2021, now more than ever, we need to better understand how we can achieve longevity. Throughout the year and in two seasons of my podcast, Iāve spoken to some fascinating people from different walks of life in my quest to discover the secret of longevity and help people live a longer, healthier life. This year has also taught us the importance of remembrance as we reflect back on those we've lost like my good friends Sarah Stenning and Chris Wilkinson, who I interviewed during the year.
In both seasons one and two of my podcast, Iāve highlighted various sectors of life which bring us longevity, including nature and the environment, colour and fragrance, the importance of eating healthily as food is our destiny, the focus on our thoughts and actions to bring wellness into our lives, as well as the necessity of purpose and vision.
Through these episodes, I hope you are also feeling inspired to achieve wellness in life and find your own road to a longer, healthier life.

I explore the art of living with Dame Marianne Griffiths; the Chief Executive Officer of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust.
She is a true trailblazer, not just because she was the first female NHS CEO to be named as one of the top five chief executives of the year at the 2021 HSJ awards, but for the outstanding work she has done throughout her successful career as well as her admirable perseverance.
She exudes passion, charisma, humility and compassion and stands on the shoulders of those she leads and serves. Marianne has reached what some may say is the pinnacle of her career but she still strives for more with her Patient First program, empowering those around her and under her to innovate.
She is an energetic family person who loves her dogs and is not afraid of a physical challenge like climbing Ben Nevis and like all great leaders is an avid reader.
Marianneās art of living through compassionate leadership, continued self learning and constant reflection makes her an incredible role model for us all.
"People can do great things when they are empowered."
Dame Marianne Griffiths
