Each episode delivers:

  • The latest insights shaping the care industry

  • Actionable advice you can put into practice right away

  • Real-life experiences from those on the frontlines of care

More than just discussion, Candour Conversations explores the challenges and opportunities in care today. We look at the sector from all angles — from frontline roles to leadership, policy changes to workforce development. We shine a light on issues that matter most, including the growing value of modern apprenticeships in creating skilled, confident care professionals.

Our first episode is a must-listen: Leadership Qualities in Care with special guest Lisa Di-Fonzo, Quality Improvement Coordinator for Care at Paragon Skills.

Lisa joins Lee to explore what strong leadership really means in the care environment. We unpack the Leadership Qualities Framework and examine how core values like accountability, proactive communication, and inclusive teamwork are essential to running a successful care service. From understanding CQC standards to creating clear performance goals, Lisa shares invaluable insights into what today’s leaders need to know — and do — to thrive in the evolving care landscape.
