Heart and Vascular Care’s Post

Whoosh! This reminds me of so many other powerful bodies of work and real social justice efforts in (healthcare) and medicine! If you are attending #HLTH, this is a session that you should NOT miss. AND! We all can stand to learn a little bit about the historical principles and practices that inherently add bias into the mix. So Thank you Tesiah Coleman, MSN, AGPCNP-BC, WHNP-BC, CLC!!! For years, I’ve witnessed nurse researchers and physicians raise their voices and shout the alarm about disparities and medicine related to loose ideas causing unnecessary suffering because some hold onto the belief that some cultures have different kidney filtration rates, or some infants are better at toughing it out (less interventions) in the NICU because culturally “they do better. Then there’s VBAC scoring for infants, or women/ethnicities who receive less care or attention or pain management because their muscle fibers and nerve endings are different because “enslaved people were noted as being able to run faster and jump higher…” and all sorts of nonsensical fallacies. And just a word to the wise: calling out in equities doesn’t mean that you have to feel bad about yourself or your culture or your profession, but it is your responsibility to become more aware that the system and its rules exist in a certain way. This doesn’t make anyone bad; it just means that you should spend a little bit more time understanding the nuances. (For recommendations of those doing this work, please follow Tesiah Coleman, MSN, AGPCNP-BC, WHNP-BC, CLC and others in this space: Dr. Jessica D. Dr. Monica R.

It’s been a busy 24 hours in general practice and for those involved in primary care networks.⬇️ ➡️ Day 1 of Best Practice Show Practice went well by all accounts. ➡️ The NHS Confederation Conference was excellent, and I definitely left with a pep in my step. ➡️ Arrangements for the GP contract in 2024/25 have been released. Further details from NHSE still need to be provided. Some key questions and thoughts I am reflecting on which I took from the The NHS Confederation conference are: ❓ In a world that is constantly changing and full of contradiction, primary care is more important than ever, so we need to ask, how can we (The sum of parts that make up our primary care networks )continue to organise ourselves to help streamline and simplify the patient journey? ❓ What barriers (within our control) stop us from being effective? ❓ How are we demonstrating our impact? ❗️ If we want a different outcome, something needs to change. #primarycarenetworks
