This episode of the Transforming Primary Care podcast, chaired by Liz Spice head of primary care in the cross-sector area in the North East and Yorkshire region, covers the development of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) hubs in our local communities, their importance during periods of high demand and the considerations involved when setting them up. The panel including Dr Cath Monaghan, Medical Director of the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, also explores the role of ARI hubs in the NHS response to winter, their impacts in previous winters and how they align with the key shift from hospital to community outlined within the 10-year plan. With neighbourhood health being firmly on the horizon, what can we learn from those who have been pioneering respiratory care closer to home?

In this episode, Ajay Bhatt sits down with Debs Harding to explore the Platform for Practice - a thought-provoking framework developed through Harding’s PhD research. Designed to bring clarity to the complex dynamics of clinical supervision, this model takes a holistic view of what shapes a practitioner’s performance: clinical knowledge, skills, lived experiences (in and out of work), behaviours, and personal qualities. Together, Ajay and Debs unpack how this framework helps supervisors have more meaningful, structured, and supportive conversations. From using it to give more balanced feedback, to recognising how someone’s background can shape their clinical confidence, this episode is full of practical insight. Whether you’re a supervisor, educator, or clinician, this discussion will offer fresh ways to support development, value diverse experiences, and enhance the impact of your supervision.
