Thank you Next Big Idea Club (Adam Grant Susan Cain Malcolm Gladwell Daniel Pink) for selecting #TheConnectionCure as your book of the day! If you've got 13 minutes to spare, check out the five "book bites" we recorded! Lots of fun to talk about #socialprescribing, and hard to distill into just 5 "bites" when it's proving to be so powerful for our health and healthcare systems, and our individual wellbeing, too https://lnkd.in/es-XAD8f

But what happens when they don't feel heard or valued? 😔 📉 When trust is lacking, persons may not communicate openly, miss appointments, or skip medications, all of which can harm their health. So, how can we change this? 💬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. Truly listening to persons, understanding their concerns, and making them feel heard can transform the experience. It goes beyond medical expertise — it’s about empathy, respect, and building a partnership that supports better care. 🩺 Here are a few ways to build stronger, more trusting relationships: 🌱 Practice 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 by giving them space to express themselves. 🗣️ Use 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 that empowers persons and motivates them to take charge of their health. ❤️ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 — acknowledge their struggles and celebrate their progress. 🔄 Ensure 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — make sure they understand their care plan and feel confident about it.

Acronyms are a cloud over your meaning. Do you want to communicate clearly? Then rethink your catchy phrases please. :) Louise Stait here says that brilliantly with some fun examples.

Whether you live close to the Functional Health Clinic (Newcastle upon Tyne), or you live elsewhere in the World - we've integrated the online/distance/video/tele coaching into our programs. Some modalities such as Functional Medicine and Nutrition can be delivered seamlessly in this format. It's essentially a discussion, with the added benefit of all resources and test reports being accessible via a computer/device. Whilst a modality like 'Movement' is not quite a perfect match for online, it can still be effectively coached. As for the hands-on Bodywork, that's the one modality that we really need to see you physically in the clinic space for. So what ever level of Support Program you are on we have the most effective and applicable modalities in place and then teach you everything we know! If you have any questions about our Health Restoration Program and how it could help you please let us know.

I recently saw a soap dispenser branded as “Public Health Surrey”. No, not really - it just said “PHS” which is presumably a brand name - but that’s how my brain read it in the moment. Our brains LOVE heuristics (mental shortcuts) and can gravitate to them before we know it! People often say you shouldn’t use unexplained acronyms because the reader might not know what they mean. But here’s another risk: the reader might THINK they know what an acronym means, because it already means something else familiar to them. I was in a meeting recently where someone was talking about EBD. My brain initially translated this as “Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties”, but I then started to realise that it didn’t make sense in the context. In fact the person was talking about Experience-Based Design. The discussion was about quality improvement in hospitals, so that the (wrong) first interpretation did seem to make some kind of vague sense initially. Similarly, the associations between hand washing and public health were enough to make my crude, instantaneous reading of “PHS” seem plausible for a moment (even though it was miles from Surrey!) And the scariest or weirdest thing about this PHS story? I’m not sure that PHS is even a "real" acronym that Public Health Surrey formally use. It’s actually a personal, made-up shorthand that I use for work-related note-taking when needed. So who knows what random things people are hearing or seeing when they encounter any given acronym! Do you have any other examples . . . ? 😊
