Hi Mum! Said Dad’s Post

A Powerful Discussion on #MaleInfertility at #Mumbai I had the immense privilege of moderating an interactive panel discussion on male infertility alongside distinguished international faculty Ranjith Ramasamy and national faculty. The response was overwhelming! We delved deep into the complexities of male infertility, exploring the latest research, discussing cutting-edge treatments, and emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. This was more than just a discussion; it was a powerful exchange of #knowledge aimed at: #Empowering #men: Breaking down the stigma surrounding male infertility and encouraging open conversations. #Advancing #patientcare: Providing healthcare professionals with the most up-to-date information and best practices. #Offering #hope: Assuring couples that they are not alone and that effective solutions are available. Thank you to all the esteemed panelists, the dedicated attendees, and the organizers for making this event a resounding success. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of countless couples. #MaleInfertility #InfertilityAwareness #MensHealth #ReproductiveHealth #andromed #andrologistchennai

Are we finally seeing the end of women's pain being sidelined in healthcare? It seems so." An NPR article discusses the pivotal changes in how the medical community handles women's pain, especially during reproductive procedures. With new guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists and an increased focus on patient-centered pain management, the field is moving towards a more empathetic and effective approach. Analysis: This evolution in pain management could transform women's health care, fostering environments where women feel heard and cared for. These changes are not just procedural but are about validating and addressing women's experiences in healthcare settings, potentially leading to transformative impacts on women's overall health and well-being. https://buff.ly/49UBIyk #pain #womenshealth #dt #darshantalks

New E-health initiatives are being developed at a considerable rate, including interventions supporting the interaction between patients and healthcare professionals, known as the clinical encounter. This interaction can influence clinical decision making during a patients’ workup or treatment process. This new scoping review by Hilde Grens, Aleida Huppelschoten, Wiep de Ligny, Rudolf Kool, Jan Kremer, and Jan-Peter de Bruin was designed to : (1) display the current landscape of web-based interventions to support the clinical encounter and (2) to critically appraise their composition. The review shows a broad landscape of web-based interventions on the clinical encounter, for healthcare professionals and fertility patients, distributed over four categories. Of these, the tele-consulting and the platform categories are the most ‘ready to use’ interventions considering the research quality, reported positive outcomes as perceived by patients and feasibility of implementation. However, only four of the studies in this review evaluated the implementation of the interventions, indicating challenges with implementation research and the need for a more comprehensive and standardized evaluation of E-health initiatives.

In addition to the #psychological support from #clinic staff and professionals, it is important to note that patients value “the provision of opportunities to contact previous patients, and the organisation of live support groups with other patients.” 👨⚕️ What can the clinic do? ⭐ Propose one-to-one support between patients in similar personal and medical situations. ⭐ Each patient will be an individual point of contact for another #patient who is undergoing the same kind of treatment and who has the same personal situation. Patients will give their written permission before being put in contact with anyone. ⭐ Explicit rules and conditions regarding participation will be established. The aim is to share experiences and emotional support, NOT to share medical information and/or advice, and to keep all discussions confidential. ⭐ The #clinic must refute any responsibility regarding the content of the conversation and exchange of information.

Dealing with challenging fertility patients can be tough on your staff, especially when emotions run high and patients become aggressive, shout or act unreasonably. Of course, these emotional responses are often because the patient is feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed, so it’s important to de-escalate tense interactions with compassion and professionalism - but how? The key is to equip your staff with the tools and training they need to maintain a caring, understanding and empathetic approach. Below are 3 great ways to cope with these difficult encounters in a way that preserves patient dignity and fosters a supportive clinic environment. And for more, this is something I cover in my bespoke training - if you feel it would be helpful for your staff, get in touch for more information. #IVF #ivfclinic #fertilityclinic #PatientCenteredCare #HealthcareExcellence #PatientEmpathy #EmpathyInHealthcare #employeewellbeing #compassionatecare
