Dr Clenton Farquharson CBE - Chair of Think Local, Act Personal
Envisioning the 'gloriously ordinary life'
"Think of it about, you know, it could be 15,000 piece jigsaw."
Bringing his experience - as someone who has cared for family, received care, and who has a view of the 'big picture' system - Dr Clenton Farquharson speaks with James in this insightful episode of Carer Catalysts.
Exploring how we can make a shared, positive vision for social care a reality, through to why we need to see co-production as a 'long-term relationship' (not a 'one-night-stand'), Clenton offers a refreshing, passionate perspective of what can be done - right now and in the coming years - to innovate carer support. Expect to hear James and Clenton talking about love, joy, curiosity, creativity and unleashing potential - not just funding entitlements, reform and the systematic language we've become so familiar with. We hope you enjoy listening!
