Podcast Description

To improve the health and wellbeing of people and achieve integrated care that focuses upon what matters to people, and what works for them, we all need to share learning, ideas and innovation, broadening our perspective of who cares, what they do and the difference that they make.

What happens when a GP invites the whole team, receptionists, managers, clinicians and more into a simulation room, and a few fluffy pandas make an appearance?
In this episode, I’m joined by, Dr Jane Roome GP, educator, and Simulation Faculty Lead in West Kent. With insight and a grounded sense of care, Jane reflects on she has pushed open doors to create safe spaces for learning that shift not just clinical practice, but safe cultures for learning in teams.
Together, we explore what it means to prepare emotionally for the work we do, to rehearse the conversations that shape our teams, and to create spaces where safety is learned as a shared responsibility.
From GP waiting rooms turned into practice environments to debriefs that surface the emotional labour of care, this conversation opens up the gentle mechanics of building trust, readiness, and connection.
Whether you’re in a healthcare role or simply curious about how care can become more connected and compassionate, there’s something here for you.
