6. Joan Pons Laplana - creative disruption

Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

Today we are walking - or should I say running - in the shoes of Joan Pons Laplana. Joan is one of the most interesting JFDI people I know. We all want to support the NHS, but Joan adds fun and creativity, so that we can all feel part of his adventures. Joan has just run the London Marathon , dressed as a pint of Guinness, raising money for Cavell Trust - supporting nurses at times of hardship.
Joan is exactly the sort of person I want to speak to in this podcast series – Full of ideas about how to make changes in the NHS, courageous in his thinking and actions, passionate about helping people, pushing boundaries … definitely a Wild Card!
Lots of lemon lightbulbs! 🍋💡🍋
