In Episode 264 of the Sports Therapy Association podcast, ‘Collaboration Over Competition: The Unbound Project - Nine Months On', host Matt Phillips is joined by Andy Hosgood and Andy Thomas, co-founders (with Andrew McCauley) of ‘The Unbound Project’ - a community for healthcare practitioners and business owners to collaborate rather than compete, to get together and share problems and solutions. Having been guests on the podcast nine months ago in Ep.225 ‘Collaboration Over Competition’, Andy & Andy discuss how the Unbound Project has evolved since its launch, and what they have learnt in the process. Topics include the 'Curiosity Scorecard' which as a clinician you can fill out to discover how your mindset is shaping your healthcare career, how to get involved in free monthly taster sessions (Monday December 8th 7pm) and connect with a growing non‑judgmental community aimed at helping clinicians take action and support one another, and how reflection & collaboration help reduce burnout and improve career satisfaction.
