Smart move - this should be the key question that guides us all in interactions whether it's a patient, client, staff member or customer. To create person centred health responses understanding what matters to the individual is KEY. #whatmatterstoyou #whatmatters #understanding #personcentred #humancentreddesign #socialcare

Today, on International What Matters Most to You? Day, let's reflect on the power of shifting our approach to care. Moving from asking "What's the matter with you?" to "What matters to you?" opens doors to transformative conversations between caregivers and individuals. Prioritizing meaningful dialogues can lead to shared understanding and support, ensuring that everyone's values are respected throughout their care journey. 🏥⚕️👩🏻⚕️🩵#WhatMattersMost #HealthcareConversations #InternationalDay

It’s #EMSWEEK2024! 50 years ago, a presidential proclamation called on the nation to support efforts to improve emergency medical care across the country. It also established the first national EMS Week, a tradition we proudly continue today. Much has changed since 1974, yet there is still much we can learn from those trailblazing professionals who helped EMS evolve into the sophisticated branch of medicine it is today. Their dedication, commitment and sacrifice inspire us to take bold steps of our own, to continue to seek out ways to better serve our patients and our communities. This year, we celebrate EMS Week by honoring our past—by taking a pause to recognize the contributions of each generation, the people who dreamed that we could save more lives and have less suffering, and then found ways to make it happen. EMS Week is never just about the past, however. It’s also about inspiring the EMS professionals just starting out and the young people who haven’t even discovered EMS yet! It’s about learning from the challenges and building on the successes of the last five decades. It’s about forging our future—a future in which the next generation has the tools they need to deliver compassionate care and alleviate suffering in communities everywhere. #insidemchd

Working to raise awareness about #spasmodicdysphonia and related #voice conditions, especially on today, World Voice Day!

As we approach World MS Day, it's important to recognize the need for early and accurate diagnoses, as well as the global barriers that still exist. To shed light on the journey towards a cure, I'm sharing my own diagnosis story. After a year of going through a significant amount of testing, I was diagnosed with MS in late 2020. Since then, I've come a long way in understanding my new body and learning how to navigate life with mobility obstacles, while building on new strengths. I'm grateful for the advancements in medicine and patient care related to MS, compared to 30 years ago. I've also received tremendous support from my personal, professional, and medical communities, allowing me to live my best life. While a cure for MS may still be unknown, supporting organizations working towards this goal is crucial. Let's come together this World MS Day to raise awareness and share our #MyMSMoment. Join me in acknowledging the need for early and accurate diagnoses, as well as the global barriers that still exist. Together, we can make a difference. #MSAwareness
