• The risks and opportunities that devolution to ICBs will bring
• What we can expect to see in the short and longer term
• How industry can support ICB leaders through this transition

The Psychedelic healing journey is an exploration into the profound world of psychedelic-assisted therapy and healing. It delves into the use of psychedelic medicines in therapeutic settings to facilitate deep, emotional, and spiritual experiences. At the heart of this, is the concept of transformation and self-discovery.

Women elders who facilitate this type of healing experience guide individuals through these altered states in a safe and supportive environment, they aim to help them confront and process unresolved emotional traumas and gain insights into their personal challenges.

These fearless women elders see themselves not just as therapists but as priestesses, recognizing the profound spiritual and soulful dimensions of psychedelic healing. They aspire to see people live up to their soul's purpose, find meaning, and cultivate authentic connections with themselves and their communities.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rachel Harris, Ph.D., Author of Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground and Listening to Ayahuasca. Dr. Rachel talks about her book "Swimming in the Sacred" which features interviews with women elders who have been facilitating psychedelic healing journeys underground for decades. She shares that these women see themselves more as priestesses rather than therapists, focusing on helping people live up to their soul's purpose. Psychedelic journeys can help with conditions like PTSD and depression but integration is an ongoing process that psychotherapy can support.

The proposed new NHSE systems for specialised commissioning are arguably the highest risk of all current dynamics, both for the NHS and for suppliers. Key aspects or policy have been published in ways that are hard to access and even harder to interpret. Here, we gather an expert panel to discuss what proposed new NHSE systems for specialised commissioning mean in practice.

In this episode, we explore:
 - What’s new for Specialised Commissioning and what’s set to change?
 - What are the potential implications of the proposed changes recently published?
 - Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and their increasing role with Specialised Commissioning
 - What this means for the NHS and for industry in practice

The episode begins with an overview and analysis of the changes from David Thorne (Principal Associate, Mtech Access and Business Development Director, Well Up North PCN). David then opens up a broader discussion about the implications of these changes with our guest panellists James Curtis (Deputy Operational Director, Gloucestershire NHS Foundation Trust) and Mohammed Asghar (ICS Prescribing Governance Lead at Frimley Health and Care ICS).

The episode was originally broadcast as a live webinar on 2nd December 2022.

It is estimated that by 2050, half of the species on earth could go extinct. That is only 28 years from now. In this episode, David explains how we can all help to stop that from happening. The 6 things he shares are all incredibly easy to do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is possible for us to stop 50% of the planet’s species from going extinct by 2050.
• Humans are at the top of the food chain. We have caused the majority of extinction events.
• Human health is strongly linked to the health of the eco-systems, which meet many of our critical needs.
• Most of the medicines that we use come from plants that need biodiversity to thrive.
• Look after your local habitats and make wildlife welcome.
• Take part in “no mow May”.
• Buy sustainably – David explains how to do that..

BEST MOMENTS

‘The African elephant population has halved and the number of Asian elephants has declined by over 70%,’

‘There are so many of us on the planet now that it’s almost impossible for us as humans not to have an impact on the world around us.’

‘By threatening the health of the planet’s ecosystems, we are not just damaging individual species; we are threatening our own survival’

‘Whenever you can, reduce the amount of packaging that you are using ’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

What roles and responsibilities do Clinical Pharmacists have in the NHS? How can Pharma and Medtech engage Clinical Pharmacists, and how can industry best support these new decision-makers?

Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) explores all this and more with Tom Kallis (Senior Clinical Pharmacist, East Cornwall PCN).

They explore the origins of the Clinical Pharmacist role and how it has become a key part of the primary care landscape, to understand how the responsibilities of those in the role have been growing. They discuss examples of specific, surprising, ways in which Clinical Pharmacists are expanding their skillsets and doing far more than just medicines use reviews and signing off prescriptions.
