Barwon Health’s Post

Thankyou to Nuffield Trust and Rebecca Rosen. Their briefing on the vulnerable position of general practice is key. https://lnkd.in/e7iyryFd High quality primary care - with a diverse team - capable of addressing both the medical AND the non- medical (wider determinants of health) as per Sir Michael Marmot, are key. Amid the narrative of 'we need more GPs" we must not forget the nuance of how that team operates and the skills they have. We have made huge progress in bringing in wider skills often better placed to address wider determinants (even than GPs). Having medical supervision is important, working as a team is important, but also valuing the non-medical aspects of care in its own right, with supervision and support to also protect and grow this aspect. Personalised Care - the 3 new roles of health coach, social prescribing link worker and care co-ordinator, need nurturing and growing......career structure, ongoing training and support to cement their place in primary care teams.....not just be used as cheap admin, or substitute receptionists. Continuty for the right people is key, but we need to hold that across health and social issues. GPs often don't want to do this, certainly not on their own. Let's keep the focus on primary care teams , with a wide range of skills, working collaboratively. We probably do need more GPs to steward this approach (certainly better to expand GPs then hospital consultants), but they need to be part of diverse inclusive teams, with leadership drawn from across the skill sets.

Ireland's Medical Landscape: The Surge in Specialist Demand 🏥📈 In recent years, Ireland's healthcare industry has witnessed a notable shift. The demand for specialist doctors has surged, mirroring global healthcare trends where specialised care is increasingly paramount. A trifecta of factors—a growing population, an aging demographic, and health system reforms—has amplified the need for specialised medical expertise. Delving into the details, the landscape reveals an urgent call for professionals in geriatrics, paediatrics, and chronic disease management. These fields are essential in meeting the evolving healthcare requirements of Ireland's diverse society. For aspiring medical practitioners, this signifies a profound opportunity for career advancement and impactful contributions to public health. Embracing these trends, healthcare institutions have bolstered support for specialist roles. For those charting a course in medicine, now is the time to specialise. #HealthcareIreland #MedicalSpecialists #Dublin

This is the SINGLE BEST question pharmacists should ask themselves when choosing their career starting point or making a transition... Why did you choose pharmacy in the first place? Here's why this question is critical... Understanding your motivations for being in the field of pharmacy is crucial to your success. You can’t determine where you want to go in your career until you know why you’re here in the first place. Here are some common reasons we've heard from pharmacy students and professionals: -Direct Patient Care in Hospitals: Specializing in various practice settings -Outpatient and Community Care: Providing direct care in community settings -Specific Disease State Care: Focusing on particular health conditions -Research and New Discoveries: Contributing to new therapies and treatments -Impacting Healthcare on a Population Level: Making a difference on a larger scale What do you think? Why are you really in this profession? #PharmacyCareer #PharmacistMotivation #PharmacyStudents #HealthcareProfession #CareerFoundation #PatientCare #PharmacyJourney

reflecting after an interesting saturday at Primary Care Sheffield conference. Firstly that nearly 100 primary care staff give up a saturday to join in mutual learning. Demonstrating the energy and enthusiasm to be open to new ideas….big credit. 2 things particular made me think: -I heard a GP locum over coffee upset about the distress at #PAs displacing GP jobs, in a way they felt is unsafe. Much lower skilled workers being put in roles where higher skilled staff should be operating. -A panel speaker in response to a patient concerned about access, describe the importance of senior medical staff presenting the whole MDT as a connected and well supported unit….see one of us, you access to all our shared views and knowledge. Made me think how important it is communicate the value of teams that are stronger for the mixed skillset. But that also cover each other and protect each others different skills and capabilities., It worries me that #physiciansassociates are being hung out to dry. They should be one part of a connected and well supervised team. If they are being exposed to roles beyond their skillset it’s a system problem not a person problem. I also think we should pay attention to how these teams are able to skillfully address all the aspects of support that contribute to good health- medical and non-medical, navigating social context and buildding patient and community capabilities, as well as medical diagnosis and treatment. If we are to use this current NHS crisis to evolve maybe it is an opportunity to break down the myth that the best care is administered by ‘my GP’. Co-ordination and continuity are very important, but that can be systemic, offered by a team, with relationships that match people’s needs. We can use modern tools to connect , educate, empower. We can create health through enduring and collectively held skills and knowledge. Ultimately this enduring health creating function could be held by local communities……they tend to outlast any individual role. Could we enable local communities to set the standards and priorities they want , contribute to generating them, be get involved in celebrating the wins? This may involve us creating more opportunities for local people to join in, take a role, feel valued. #Peersupport, #peerleadership seem very promising additions to our new health landscape. Thanks Andy Hilton and team for creating the opportunity to learn together and keep us thinking.

OFFER v. OFFERED To physicians By third party payers & Traditional Employers 🤣🤣🤣 In healthcare, you see a lot of mobility of professionals. The real reason people leave their job is because they were not happy in their previous jobs. The reason they were not happy is because they were not treated well. I can tell from my own experience before I became self-employed. I was promised mentorship (whatever it means), $30k startup fund to kickstart my research, directorship & program development. I didn’t get any of those and within a year, my entire job description was changed. When I speak to other employed physicians, I hear the same story. Go and have a good laugh 😂 on a beautiful Sunday. Physicians and other healthcare professionals, what are your thoughts? ********************************* Below lines are for L-!-n-k-e-d-i-n algorithm. ********************************** Laughter is a good medicine for relaxation. Laughter and relaxation help patient safety and public health. Hospitals should offer laughter therapy for physicians to overcome their burn out. Physician burnout is a serious problem, impacting patient safety, and public health. Medical schools should offer curriculum on laughter therapy.

Alberta’s government is committed to addressing rural and remote health care challenges to ensure Albertans have access to high-quality health care services, no matter where they live in the province. We understand that Albertans living in rural and remote communities face unique challenges which require tailored supports and approaches to deliver safe, high-quality, and sustainable health care services. To help guide actions, address challenges, and improve outcomes in rural and remote health care, Alberta’s government is launching a Rural Health Action Plan. As some of the first steps being taken under the Action Plan, Alberta’s government is introducing a Rural and Remote Family Medicine Resident Physician Bursary Pilot Program, a Medical First Responder (MFR) Grant program, and an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Education Grant program. By addressing health care challenges in rural and remote communities, Alberta’s government is continuing to prioritize the improvement of care and health outcomes for Albertans living in these areas.
