Work like this is so important in improving patient care by actually taking the time to actually hear , imagine and feel what your patient is telling you . Really managing to learn the skill of empathy is a constant process and one which we should revisit and value with the same regularity and keenness as we do our more traditional CPD. #softskills

The empathy gap: most healthcare professionals assume that people are inactive due to lack of motivation, but the main barrier to keeping active is actually pain. See below the results of the 'We Are Undefeatable' public consultation. Super interesting and beautifully summarized. Great work :) #physicalactivity #empathy #personcentredcare #populationhealth #physiotherapy #charity #systemworking #physicalactivitysector

🚑 Meet Our Future Doctor 🚑 By sharing the story of this remarkable grant candidate, we aim to boost awareness and drive donations to grow our KCMS Community Foundation grant, allowing us to support more deserving medical students. This candidate's awakening to healthcare disparities came during a road trip through rural America, where he witnessed firsthand the absence of medical facilities. This experience, coupled with volunteering in underfunded schools and shelters, revealed the systemic barriers faced by marginalized populations. He is committed to treating patients as whole persons, addressing not just physical ailments but also the socioeconomic and cultural factors that impact health. 🌟 Quote: "Witnessing the lack of medical resources in rural communities sparked my interest in medicine, focusing on the whole patient, including socioeconomic and cultural aspects." 💖 Support His Journey: Your donation can empower medical students like this one to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive care to underserved communities, helping to bridge the gap in healthcare access and quality. 👉 Donate Today and Empower Future Physicians! https://lnkd.in/gM-adavP #HealthcareForAll #FutureDoctor #SupportDiversityInMedicine #KingCountyMedicalSociety #KCMedSoc #OsteopathicMedicine #RuralHealthcare #HolisticCare #HealthEquity #EmpowerHealth

Join Us in Making a Difference: Support the Kango Community Free Medical Outreach In just a few weeks, Untold Story Behind the Story Foundation will be conducting a vital free medical outreach in Kango, a village within Kuje Area Council. This community faces significant challenges, with a large population lacking access to essential healthcare services. Kango has no healthcare facilities, and residents often have to travel long distances to receive medical care. Our outreach is more than just a one-day event—it’s an opportunity to bring life-saving medical attention to those who need it most. We aim to provide comprehensive healthcare services, including consultations, treatments, and essential medications. However, to achieve this, we need your support. How You Can Help: • Donate Medications: We are in urgent need of a wide range of medications to meet the needs of the community. Your donation can help provide life-saving treatments to those who otherwise have no access to healthcare. • Financial Contributions: Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Your financial support will help us purchase necessary supplies, transport our medical team, and cover other logistical costs. • Spread the Word: Even if you can’t donate, you can still support our mission by sharing this message with others who might be able to help. Why This Outreach Matters: Kango’s residents have been without a local healthcare facility for too long, and this outreach could be their only chance to receive proper medical care. With your help, we can address their urgent needs and work towards a healthier future for this community. We hope you can join us in this crucial mission to bring healthcare to Kango. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of many.

Sometimes in the midst of trying to raise gowns, we forget how truly special it is to do what we do as a community. We have been the catalyst for change in hospitals! We created hospital gowns that allow kids to still be kids at a time when they deserve it most. We appreciate everyone who has contributed, spread the word, and offered words of support. Behind every gown is a child and at any moment it could be one of our own. When we know better, we must do better! 🙌 Your actions make a real difference in real time! Many children are still awaiting sponsors, and together we can help change their hospital stay. If you or your organization would like to get involved, we need all the support possible to help continue our movement. We are a small team making a big impact. Our short term goal: Raise 4,000 Brave Gowns by June 30th. Longer Goal: Raise 100K Brave Gowns by August 30th.

As we approach the end of our 2023/24 Wrexham Recognition Awards competition, the penultimate business the F Jones Initiative are highlighting is the incredible Therapy Stars Foundation. Here’s why ⬇️ Founder @sian boffey is a children’s physiotherapist who had set up her own private practice, Therapy Stars, back in 2014. Witnessing how families were often struggling to fund either extra therapy on top of what they were offered by statutory services, or those therapies not provided by the NHS, she felt there must be a way to help. The Therapy Stars Foundation was launched on the 27th January 2023 and offers awards of £500 to families living in North Wales, Shropshire, or Cheshire, for them to access therapy for a child with a long-term or life limiting condition. Therapy may include Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech therapy as well as lesser-known Music Therapy, Hippotherapy & Equine therapy, Hydrotherapy & Aquatic Therapy, and counselling for example. The foundation has awarded nine therapy grants during 2023 to children with disabilities and their families. These have been able to fund Physiotherapy, Hydrotherapy and Speech Therapy. Sian tells us that they are hoping to support even more families during 2024. Their application form can be completed directly on their website and their next application review at the time of writing this is 7th March 2024. The grants offered will be dependant on the amount of money the Therapy Stars Foundation manages to raise, primarily through donations and fundraising. Early intervention is key for many young children with long-term or life-limiting conditions and ongoing therapy is a way of life for most of these families. Sian tells us that financial constraints placed on all families, as well as reduced resources available through statutory services have meant that many children do not receive the therapy they need or deserve. ‘We strive to help children thrive’. #physiotherapy #childrenshealth #longtermdisability #therapyworks #therapystarsfoundation #fjonesinitiative
