    In this episode of Just a Sharp Scratch: The Extra Dose, Martyn welcomes Peter Murphy Lewis, creator of the documentary series People Worth Caring About, and Erin Hart, Chief Operating Officer of the National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA).

    The discussion explores the challenges and opportunities facing Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in the United States, drawing parallels with the Nursing Associate role in the UK. Peter shares insights from filming People Worth Caring About, capturing the lives of CNAs and residents in long-term care.

    Together they cover:

    • The reality of working in long-term care facilities

    • Why storytelling is crucial for workforce recognition

    • The power of career ladders and professional development for CNAs

    • What the UK can learn from the U.S. approach to supporting frontline carers
