Bravery, Curiosity and the Magic of Storytelling in Research

Tune into the South west Allied Health Professions (AHPs) 2024 Podcast series, featuring 12 episodes. Recorded at Westonbirt Arboretum, the series includes 8 live campfire stories and 4 additional episodes. AHPs from across the South West share stories that connect, inspire, and elevate, showcasing how they implement the AHPs Deliver strategy for England. Sometimes, things go wrong. This is part of everyday life and often we can quickly reflect, adapt, and move on. But when the adverse event is more significant, how do we acknowledge and understand the harm felt by all those involved so that we can truly learn and feel reconciled with what has happened? In this episode Toni Hall, a Diagnostic Radiographer by profession and Associate Director of Patient Care at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust a large, shares the experiences of an operation that went wrong and resulted in catastrophic harm to a patient. Following the methodologies of Restorative Practice, Toni explores how individuals and teams can work through their experiences to become reconciled with the impact of harm and uncover a deeper way to identify and share learning to support their healing and promote greater patient safety.
