Join us today as this week's guest, Joanne Douglas, takes us on a compelling voyage through her advocacy work, where stories transform into instruments of change.
Joanne is a force of positive change in the realm of health and social care. Formerly a journalist, Joanne now uses her talents as part of Healthwatch Calderdale, where she empowers transformation through the power of people's stories and experiences. We'll learn how her experiences as a journalist have prepared her to amplify the voices of those she encounters, weaving a tapestry of understanding and compassion that connects us all.
We'll also hear two beautiful pieces of poetry that were created by some of the people Healthwatch works with to express their lived experiences. Please be aware that these poems share personal experiences of pain and of end of life care, so please skip this section of this episode if you feel that listening to them might not be beneficial for you.
