Podcast feedKickstarting New Careers Through Access Courses
Matthew Clarke and Bradley Moon both left school at 16 with low qualifications. Matthew struggled with dyslexia and a lack of support at school. Bradley wasn’t interested in education, preferring to play football. Later in life, they each discovered the Access to Higher Education Programme, which has changed their lives. Here they talk with Camden Community Radio’s Alix Hattenstone about how Matthew has graduated with a first class Degree in Sports Science and Bradley is going into the third year of a Degree in Biomedical Science.

What Does HealthWatch Camden Do?
Frances Hasler of Healthwatch Camden explains how Healthwatch supports local people in improving services. By finding out what the priorities are for improvements in the provision of health and social care services, Helathwatch Camden then works to get things changed. Recently Healthwatch Camden helped the users of mental health services in Highgate to explain to Camden Council and to service providers what was wrong with the way that they were re-organising services. The work of Healthwatch Camden can influence future service provision on other issues as well.
