Working with individuals to help them develop strategies for their exact needs to help them recover and move forward from any mental health related issues. Jon has experienced living with mental health conditions for over 20 years and with a background in the commercial world, he set up Arthur Ellis: Mental Health Support to positively impact the way wellbeing and mental health is proactively managed throughout society. Jon believed that awareness needs to be more actionable if we really want to gain control over it rather than being purely focused on recognising symptoms, meaning people are already sick. Jon leads the march on helping individuals look further than signposting to encourage people across the country to learn to manage mental health before the need for professional intervention. Through his work with organisations Jon and his team are then able to offer subsidised support for children in need of mental health support. | |||

This is a very special episode of the Podcast as it is the first video podcast, recorded live during the Final Pitch Event of the 2023 Children's Health Impact Accelerator, in London at the Science Gallery. If you wish to watch this episode, you can find it over on our Thinking of Oscar You Tube page. In October 2023, David had the fortune of chairing an accelerator dedicated to Children’s Health in collaboration with London based Accelerator and Venture Builder Founders Factory, on behalf of UKRI / Innovate UK. During the event we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful quartet of innovators who agreed to come on stage and talk about the opportunities, and some of the things to look out for, when financing a start-up focused on children’s health. We are therefore delighted to share with you all a live recording of the panel conversation which included insights and guidance from Paediatric Venture leaders, John Parker and Marc Ramis, Children’s Health Innovation leader from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Emma Hughes and wonderfully chaired by Founders Factory’s own healthtech investor Claire Mongeau. | |||

| 25 Jun 2020 | Episode 2: EMPOWERMENT with Dom Raban | 00:44:34 | |
This week on The Not Mini Adults Podcast - "Pioneers for Children's Health and Wellbeing" we talk to Dom Raban, CEO of Xploro. Xploro came about as a result of Dom’s personal experience as a father when his daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. Now, aged 20, she’s cancer-free, but when she was ill nobody told her what to expect and that made her feel scared, anxious and alone. Unfortunately across the board provision of information preparing children for hospitalisation could be better. The few resources that hospitals do have, such as books and leaflets, become worn out quickly and are costly to replace and there are not always enough play staff to spend time with children, preparing them for procedures. Research shows that if you provide patients with information prior to treatment you reduce their stress and anxiety and improve their clinical outcomes. Dom decided that it was about time to give children the information they need and deserve and so Xploro was born. | |||

There is one word to describe our conversation with Sir Andrew and that is 'IMPACT'. This was truly an inspiring conversation and we of course discuss Andrew’s work in developing a COVID-19 vaccination, but just as importantly his work in helping to develop vaccines for children all over the world. | |||
| 08 Oct 2021 | Episode 32: 'PLAY SPECIALISTS WEEK' with Jo Pinney and Grace Welby | 00:34:11 | |
This week we are joined by Jo Pinney and Grace Welby who are both Play Specialists at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford in the UK. Jo says that she ‘loves her role and find it especially rewarding when we have hooked or sucked an interesting find from a child’s ear or nose’. Grace Welby is very special to Hannah and I as she was one of the pay specialists alongside Sam Mortlock. Grace has worked at Oxford Children’s Hospitals for 7 years, starting as a Play Assistant on an acute ward whilst training on the job & qualifying as a Health Play Specialist 5 years ago. Grace says that “she very much enjoys her role as a Play Specialist, normalising the hospital environment for the patient & their families through play, having the time to interact & distract children from what can be a scary experience but seeing them smile is the most rewarding thing!” | |||
| 15 Oct 2021 | Episode 33: 'ACEs' with Sarah Marikos | 00:38:14 | |
On this weeks Podcast we are delighted to welcome Sarah Marikos who is the Executive Director of the ACE Resource Network. Sarah’s professional career has focused on the science of things that can hurt us and heal us. As an undergraduate at the University of California Berkeley, Sarah studied and conducted research on the US national opioid epidemic, the emergence of 2009’s H1N1 in-fluenza, and other major public health problems. But witnessing Hurricane Katrina’s devastating and inequitable impact on communities influenced her to pivot from the pre-med track to public health, deciding to pursue a master’s in public health (MPH) in epidemiology to better understand the confluence of factors that influence the health and well-being of people and communities. Today Sarah says that she enjoys connecting people and data to improve systems in order to prevent harm and help people recover and heal. In this episode we talk to Sarah about her journey and most importantly the impact that discovering the research around Adverse Childhood Experiences has on families and the impact that it could have on society if it was better understood by all. | |||
