    Heidi shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with autism, what led her to start speaking out, and how she’s spent the last decade helping others better understand the neurodiverse community.

    🎙️ Episode Title: The Gift of Experience: Dr Rachel Tims

    This episode of Just a Sharp Scratch opens with something personal — a reflection on my journey with the Countdown to Change campaign. From the sleepless nights with a newborn to launching a national petition advocating for Nursing Associates, I share the highs, the lows, and the moments that sparked this movement for real change.

    Then, we’re joined by the incredible Dr Rachel Tims, Clinical Training and Education Senior Specialist for Nursing and Midwifery at NHS England Southwest.

    Rachel brings with her a wealth of experience, from the frontlines to national leadership. We explore:
    🔹 How she’s shaping education for Nursing Associates
    🔹 The barriers they continue to face
    🔹 And why lived experience matters more than ever in transforming our workforce

    🎧 This isn’t just a conversation about policy — it’s about people, progress, and the passion behind the profession.
