How do we tackle the enormous task of addressing misinformation in health care? Here’s what Dr Reed Tuckson, MD says it will take: 1️⃣ work together and care about each other 2️⃣ every health care interaction has to be based on trust 3️⃣ educate the health care workers to have these conversations with their mistrustful patients 4️⃣ increase science/medical literacy so that patients “participate in the use” of health information (great phrase)

At HEAL, we are leading the charge in addressing human trafficking as a public health issue.

Key Insights: - Increased staff awareness of human trafficking. - Positive feedback on the PEARR Tool's effectiveness. - Overcoming training challenges during the pandemic.

🇮🇪 There was an interesting discussion with Professor Sean Daly on RTE’s Today with Claire, about medics feeling traumatised after giving evidence at an inquest. It’s important that the inquest process is inquisitorial - not adversarial - and supports both medics and families.

Wonderful article by #GeBai, and a great tribute to Marshall Allen. And, in that Forbes article is about the best concise description I have heard or read of the problems in our healthcare system: “5. Our Healthcare Reality Is By Design. “When the government plays a bigger role in healthcare, policymakers and businesses get more intimate. Influencing policy is more effective than competition for large businesses to make money, and controlling healthcare dollars is more effective than empowering patients for policymakers to reap political gains. This business-policymaker marriage perpetuates a system that enriches both while compromising patients, workers, and taxpayers. The key to breaking this vicious cycle is, in Mr. Allen’s words, to ‘stand up to bullies’ and ‘fight back.’” He told us how to do that in his book, “Never Pay the First Bill”.
