Building on from episodes 312 & 314, Tara returns to discuss the importance of considering outside help from consultants for healthcare leaders facing challenges. Tara provides a list of important questions for leaders to reflect on and determine if they would benefit from external support.. Tara's key takeaways: Consider hiring a consultant if you consistently miss targets, have the same recurring issues, lack clarity on strategy, or face staffing and morale problems. Be ready and committed to investing time and resources to improve the situation before seeking outside help. Think about the potential impact of resolving the issue and consider if it can be resolved internally or if outside help is needed. When looking for a consultant, seek referrals from trusted sources and prioritise expertise and experience over cost. Consultants should deliver on the agreed scope of work and stay focused on the brief.

Is the perception of too many managers in the NHS is a myth?
Ben Falk, a director of operations at Guy's and St. Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust, shares his journey into healthcare and his role as a director. He discusses the day-to-day responsibilities of a director of operations and the challenges of workforce planning.

Workforce planning in the NHS involves attracting and recruiting the right talent, highlighting the benefits of working in the NHS, and showcasing the diverse range of roles available. Creating a culture of collaboration involves fostering communication, recognising and valuing all roles within the organisation, and breaking down barriers.

Ever wondered how you can turn a series of diverse job experiences into a thriving healthcare consulting business?
This week, Tara shares her personal journey, recounting the thrill and challenges of negotiating her first clients, how word of mouth was crucial in securing opportunities, and the importance of patience and hard work in building a client pipeline.
Here are Tara's key takeaways for this week:
Mindset is key in running a business. Visualisation and manifestation can be powerful tools. Making choices that align with desired outcomes can lead to positive shifts in business. Self-awareness and honest evaluation of leadership skills are important for personal growth. Building a supportive network and choosing people carefully for support can be beneficial. It's okay to not always have a positive mindset and to seek support when needed. Financial literacy is essential for running a successful business. Don't be afraid to try new things and accept that not everything will be successful.To find out more about us at THC https://www.thcprimarycare.co.uk/about-us

Douglas, a mental health nurse and digital influencer, discusses his journey from being an engineer to becoming a nurse and a politician. He talks about the importance of understanding human behavior and the value he can offer in the mental health field.
Tara & Douglas discuss various health issues, including dental health, population health management, and the challenges of an aging population. Douglas also highlights the value of personal development and being authentically oneself while studying and learning to maximise skills.
In this podcast, Tara covers:
Understanding human behavior is crucial in the field of mental health.
Politics is a transformational field that aims to improve people's lives.
Decisions in politics can be influenced by cultural factors and the lack of competition.
Population health management focuses on preventing illness and improving the overall health and well-being of a country's citizens.
The challenges in healthcare include issues like dental health, social care, and the aging population. Dog walking can be a powerful way to build community connections and gain a deeper understanding of the community.
Embracing the lived experience is important in politics, as it brings valuable perspectives and stories to the table.
Being a counselor requires a significant time commitment, with around 20 hours of work per week, including attending council meetings in the evenings.
Allowing people to go on their own journey and change their minds is important in politics and in life.
Understanding the politics within politics, including the culture and behavior within political parties, is crucial for navigating the political landscape.
Personal development and continuous learning are essential for maximising skills and being authentically oneself.
