🧐 When it comes to writing your health condition copy, you might be missing one of your biggest sources of content. How often do you ask patients and families after they received care what they wish they had known? Especially when it comes to serious conditions, at some point we all have to dig deep to become armchair experts for ourselves or our loved ones. Does your copy answer... ✍️ What it's really like to get a procedure or refuse treatment? ✍️ What to expect during recovery ✍️ What are typical and rare side effects of a therapy? Your copy doesn't just exist so people can find and choose your health system. Done well, it can be a part of patients' care journey. So many hospitals have patient and family advisory councils (PFAC). Consider asking them about your copy. You'll no doubt learn something. H/t to Sara McKinniss for inspiring this post.

Thinking about (or already going for) an Executive Health Assessment from clinics like Cleveland Clinic Canada and Medcan? There is one key point about these powerful assessments that you need to think about...While they help prevent and diagnose health issues as early as possible, most issues lead you back to the challenged Canadian public healthcare system. It is common for Cleveland Clinic patients to be referred to their top hospitals in the US, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for the best treatments and specialists, without delays. For one monthly premium that competes with the retail cost of only an assessment, the BYOND Private Health Plan includes not only that same assessment at the clinic of your choice, but then access to CT or MRI in days, and $1M per year to access private care, and much more. Take full control of your health. Contact your SC Insurance Advisor for the BYOND rate sheet or more information. www.byondhealth.ca #privatehealthcare #executivehealth #benefits

The Government is writing it's 10-year plan for the NHS, and they want to hear from 👉you👈. So, we've put together the tools you need to speak up for the change you want to see in general practice: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gyiM7YTB You understand more than anyone else the problems facing the NHS. But we need to make sure decision makers understand this too and take the right action to fix them. We have until the 2nd of December to make sure they hear the voice of general practice loud and clear. By coming together and responding directly to the consultation, sharing examples of best practice, attending one of our consultation workshops or encouraging your patients to respond, we can create lasting positive change.

Your health and your choices matter! My team at ProTrainings recently created an infographic to help people understand more about one important choice many patience eventually have to make: a DNR. A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is a deeply personal choice that guides medical teams on how to proceed in emergencies. Understanding the elements of a DNR order is essential for respecting your wishes and that you or your loved ones receive the care you desire. Whether you’re making these decisions for yourself or supporting a loved one, being informed is the first step towards peace of mind. Check out our infographic to learn more about what a DNR order involves and how it can impact care decisions: https://lnkd.in/gDVzYE7e
