Let’s Talk... Support Workers

We have launched a new podcast series highlighting the vital role of support workers in health and social care.

Hosted on Podbean, each episode features insightful conversations with support workers and the people who help them grow and learn. You will hear personal stories, practical tips, and advice that you can use in your own role.

Episode 1 - Pathways to Progression: An AHP Fellowship Journey

In our first episode, we speak with Heather Rodger, AHP Associate Practice Educator at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, about her journey of stepping beyond the traditional support worker clinical role. Through the AHP Fellowship, Heather discovered new learning opportunities and unlocked her potential in unexpected ways.
