Special Episode!

This week I spoke to Kate England and Paul Tyson who are fighting tirelessly for veterans with brain injuries.

Kate is at the forefront in fighting for veterans who are suffering from brain injuries due to their service in the military. Since seeing at first hand the struggles her husband has had trying to be diagnosed and treated Kate has become his warrior and subsequently the warrior for all of us.

Kate talks openly about the struggles she has had personally and professionally fighting to be heard. Through medical systems that just don't link together to medical diagnosis paths that will not be authorised it has been a long struggle.

Paul Tyson a senior news editor for ITN and a veteran was directed to Kate's story through a colleague and has been with her ever since. Seeing this through his reporter lens Paul discusses what he has seen working against veterans with these injuries.

There is a UK National Veteran Brain Health Symposium taking place at Nottingham University 11 June 2026 if you are interested in going please see the link below:

Episode 2 of the Period and Policies Series

This week I spoke to Dr Antony Willman who has dedicated many years to researching and teaching women's health. With experience as a GP in the civilian world and military world Dr Antony Willman really has a unique view into serving and veteran personnel.

Dr Antony Willman also highlights the amount of research that is going into serving women's health. This work is going on without a lot of us even realising but the dedication and motivation is very real, and without people like Dr Willman the strides that have already been made wouldn't happen.

Keep up the great work!

This week I spoke to Adi Harper who talked about his transition out of the army and searching for that job that fit. Not only that Adi has started to build his own business as well after finding work on the outside.

Adi was a recommended guest from a listener to the show, and I am so glad that he was. Adi shows how you can get that great role in a place you didn't expect to find it as well as still pursuing a self made business dream.

Go take a listen!
