Introducing LEGACIES - a new occasional mini-series looking at historical figures who've left their mark on the East of England, yet are often better known outside of the region... Deposed at 10 years old and separated from his mother, the last Maharaja of the Punjab, Duleep Singh, may seem a strange choice for a podcast focused on the East of England... and yet he and his children made a huge impact on the region, especially on Thetford in Norfolk and in Suffolk, where he transformed the Elveden estate.      This is the story of that legacy - from his ascent to the Throne of Lahore at five years old, to his desperate attempt to win support from the Tsar for a Russian invasion of India.  Duleep Singh has been the subject of books, movies, a new hotel suite and has even appeared in the smash-hit videogame franchise, Assassin's Creed.  It's also the tale of his children, in particular Prince Frederick and the Princesses Sophia and Catherine, and their respective struggles to preserve the buildings and antiquities of Norfolk and Suffolk, secure votes for women, and rescue Jews fleeing from Nazi persecution.   We also drop in on The Thomas Paine Hotel in Thetford, and join hotelier Gez Chetal as he unveils the Maharaja Duleep Singh Durbar Room, in his honour.  You can find out more about the room here: https://www.thethomaspainehotel.co.uk/accomodation-thetford There's also more information on Duleep Singh here: https://duleepsingh.com Eastern Promise wishes to acknowledge the contributions of Peter Bance and Gez Chetal, without whom this episode would not have been possible.

Episode 184: Citizen Hub St Neots How belonging, community power and live local insight can transform a town What happens when a community stops waiting for solutions to arrive and starts building its own social infrastructure? In this episode of the Eastern Promise Podcast, Mike Rigby visits Citizen Hub St Neots, a welcoming town-centre space designed to connect people with support, opportunities and one another. He is joined by: Alex Hughes, founder of Citizen Hub and social entrepreneur Grace Marsh, Managing Director of Citizen Hub St Neots Richard Shaw MBE, Chair of St Neots Initiative Zion Ayokunnu, technical entrepreneur, researcher and data lead Together, they explore how a community hub can become far more than a building. It can create belonging, build trust, identify local needs and give residents the confidence and connections to shape the future of their town. Citizen Hub began in response to a practical gap: St Neots had no Jobcentre on its high street and limited access to further education. Instead of recreating a conventional service, its founders concentrated on creating a place where the whole community could belong and where different services, programmes and ideas could take root.  The discussion reveals a model built around community power rather than institutional control. People are not merely referred from one service to another. They are encouraged to move from coping, to competence, and ultimately to contributing to the lives of others. The team also explains how community insight and local data are being used to turn people’s experiences into action. One example is the demand for accessible financial and digital support following the disappearance of bank branches from the high street. Running throughout the conversation is a wider argument about infrastructure: railways, housing and power stations matter, but so do the relationships, trust and local networks that allow communities to respond to change. Building that social infrastructure is complex, long-term work, but it can unlock an extraordinary amount of local energy.

“Pharmacy is maybe a little bit like magic, in the sense that everything should happen behind the scenes and you don’t see it.” — Dr Georgina Marsh Pharmacy is changing fast.  Once seen primarily as the profession that dispenses medicines, it is increasingly becoming a frontline clinical service—one in which pharmacists prescribe, manage long-term conditions and give patients accessible, expert care. In Episode 183 of Eastern Promise, Dr Georgina Marsh, Head of Pharmacy and Prescribing at the University of Suffolk, joins your host Mike Rigby to explain what this transformation means for patients, the NHS and the next generation of pharmacists. Georgina also introduces the University’s new four-year MPharm programme, due to begin this month (September 2026), and discusses how it has been designed around professional standards, regional workforce needs and the future direction of healthcare. Guest Dr Georgina Marsh is Head of Pharmacy and Prescribing at the University of Suffolk. A pharmacist by training, she is leading the development of the University’s MPharm programme and oversees its non-medical prescribing provision. Her research interests include pharmaceutical 3D printing and the potential for personalised, point-of-care manufacture of medicines. In this episode Why pharmacists are increasingly recognised as medicines experts and clinical healthcare practitioners How independent prescribing is widening the profession’s role in patient care Why communication, active listening and an understanding of patient behaviour matter alongside scientific knowledge How the new MPharm combines science, clinical practice, digital skills and early placements Why the East of England needs more locally trained pharmacists—and how a “grow our own” strategy could help address shortages The breadth of pharmacy careers, from community and hospital practice to industry, regulatory affairs, the armed forces, prisons and care homes How realistic simulation can help students move from knowing what to do to taking responsibility as the pharmacist How resilience, leadership and wellbeing are being built into training amid concerns about burnout The potential of AI, remote consultations, personalised medicine and pharmaceutical 3D printing How research, continuing professional development and partnerships with healthcare and industry could shape the department’s future. From science to patient care Dr Marsh describes pharmacists as “scientist healthcare practitioners”. Their work spans the whole life cycle of a medicine: discovery and development, formulation and packaging, understanding where and how it acts in the body, and helping patients use it safely and effectively. That scientific foundation is matched by clinical judgement and human skills—from reading body language to adapting advice for someone processing a new diagnosis. Training pharmacists for the region The programme responds to a clear regional need. Dr Marsh cites a 2024 community-pharmacy workforce survey indicating a vacancy rate of around 19% in the area, alongside shortages of early-career hospital pharmacists. Developed with input from hospitals, community pharmacies, GP practices, industry and the local Integrated Care Board, the course supports a wider “grow our own” approach to developing the healthcare workforce. Students will complete 14 weeks of placements across community, hospital and GP settings during the four-year degree, beginning in the second semester of year one. They will also learn in a simulated pharmacy, purpose-built laboratories, clinical-skills suites and mock ward environments. By the fourth year, teams will be expected to run realistic pharmacy services, respond to patients and clinicians, manage long-term conditions and deal with the practical problems of day-to-day practice. Building confidence—and resilience The aim is not to force students into an early specialism, but to give them the broad foundation needed to move between sectors and specialise after registration. Alongside that flexibility, the curriculum addresses the pressures of professional practice through mentoring, leadership, team management, resilience and psychological wellbeing—helping future pharmacists recognise when they need to pause, reflect and ensure they remain safe to practise. Looking ahead The conversation closes with a look at the future: a digital thread running through the course, including AI and remote consultations; closer links between university research and patient care; expanded continuing professional development; and pharmaceutical 3D printing that could one day produce medicines tailored to an individual patient and dose. Listen to Episode 183 for a revealing look behind the pharmacy counter—and at the education, technology and regional partnerships shaping a profession at the heart of future healthcare.

This Week: I'm chatting to journalist-turned-visionary Shiv Malik, as Eastern Promise takes a look at Forest City 1. It's an exciting scheme that's certainly turning heads, as well as both asking big questions about how we want to live our lives in the future, and providing one possible answer.  The scheme, which has attracted some controversy(!), proposes that a city be built between Newmarket and Haverhill, at a scale that allows it to be infrastructure first and with a vision of municipal life last seen in the Garden City movement.   Eastern Promise host Mike Rigby met with Shiv at the National Trust's Hatfield Forest in Essex to discuss how the vision for Forest City 1 originated, what the proposal actually entails, and what the scheme might deliver for the region beyond its bounds.  It's a fascinating insight into a bold proposal.

This episode is about one of the biggest barriers to growth in the East of England — skills. We're at the University of Cambridge’s Bennett School of Public Policy with a region-wide panel of experts from education, business and industry. We’re unpacking this recent report from the Bennett School that asks a vital question: In a region with high employment, why do so many employers still struggle to find the skills they need — and so many young people still struggle to find clear pathways into good work? We're also blessed with an amazing panel: Gwen Bergius, Head of Business Development at Form the Future; Charlotte Horobin, Chief Executive of the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce;  Suzanne Allen, Skills for Energy manager from the East of England Energy Group; and Burcu Selvi, Researcher at the Bennett School of Public Policy.  In this conversation, we go beyond the headlines to explore why skills policy can’t be separated from transport, housing and access; how SMEs can engage with the system; and what it really takes to build pathways into work, not just qualifications.   Because this episode isn’t just about training.  It’s about opportunity — and what needs to happen so that young people across the East of England can actually reach it, and employers have the skills staff they need. PLUS!  East of England hotelier and hospitality industry stalwart Gez Chetal shares his Eastern Insight, principally his work through Prismstart creating employment pathways for ex-offenders and vulnerable people.    For more information on Eastern Promise, to listen to our back catalogue, and to contact us, visit https://easternpromise.org.uk.   Eastern Promise is made in The Podding Shed and is proud to be supported by Mills & Reeve.
