Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary new series fills a void in practitioner development and well-being. The books take a reflective step back from the tick-box, target-driven and increasingly regulated world of 21st century health practice; and invite us to revisit what health and health practice actually are. Building carefully on the science and philosophy of health, each book addresses the messy, complex and often chaotic world of real-life health practice and offers an ancient but now almost revolutionary understanding for students and experienced practitioners alike: that health practice is a fundamentally creative and compassionate activity. The series as a whole helps practitioners to redefine and recreate their daily practice in ways that are healthier for both patients and practitioners. The books provide a welcome antidote to demoralisation and burn-out amongst practitioners, reversing cynicism and reviving our feeling of pride in, and our understanding of, health practice. By observing practice life through different lenses, they encourage the development of efficiency, effectiveness and, above all, satisfaction. The first book in this series, The Integrated Practitioner: Surviving and Thriving in Health Practice, encourages practitioners to consider the importance of their personal position as the foundation of health practice. It inspires practitioners to consider themselves as their own most important tool', encouraging them to take better care of themselves, and provides numerous opportunities for reflection through case studies and activities.

Download or read book How to be a Good Enough GP written by Gerhard Wilke and published by Radcliffe Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upheavals of the NHS reforms have caused a great deal of stress and uncertainty in primary care, and professional development and support for general practitioners needs to take account of this. This book offers a group supervision model which can be used to develop the core competencies needed for GPs to make the new primary care organisations work. The book analyses how primary care professionals have dealt with the various reforms of the past decade, and picks apart the paralysing culture of politeness, conflict avoidance and rivalry for power, to reveal how at the core of reform is the struggle for each GP to construct a new professional identity which integrates medicine, management and politics. It proposes ways GPs can benefit from these experiences to become equipped with the necessary competencies to be active members or dynamic leaders in the new primary care organisations. The doctor-patient relationship is no longer one-to-one, but located within a group matrix, in the same way that a GP is now required to work within a group framework. This book enables GPs to develop the essential group skills they now need, and on which the success of the healthcare reforms ultimately depends.

Download or read book Crisis proof Your Practice written by Lynn Grodzki and published by WW Norton. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only book of its kind: a comprehensive, yet strategic and practical 4-point plan for strengthening a private practice during a time of crisis. Written to help therapists and other helping professionals survive and thrive during an uncertain economy, Crisis-Proof Your Practice is an important tool for weathering the current crisis of Covid-19. As those in private practice contend with new challenges caused by the pandemic, including the parameters of telehealth, working within quarantine, cash flow problems, client cancellations, and overwhelm of helping those in need—they find that they need advice for their business as well as guidance for their personal well-being. Lynn Grodzki is considered a pioneer in the field of practice -building, and she brings a needed perspective to those small business owners who want to secure the safety of their practices during a time of global economic worry, confusion and anxiety. Readers will learn how to quickly assess the health of their existing private practices to address and then repair areas that are weakened by situational problems caused by a recession or a global shutdown. After receiving solid advice on how to minimize risk, they can adopt one of the four best business models, designed to allow the practice to stay viable during and after a time of crisis. Grodzki explains strategies for financial management, steps to take for low cost and effective marketing, and ways to prepare for the future, including how to build a practice not just to own, but eventually to sell. She inspires readers to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to be open to change and spot the many opportunities that inevitably arise during a time of crisis. As with her earlier books, Grodzki translates basic and sophisticated business concepts for those in a service, health-oriented practice. She offers anecdotes, examples and ideas gleaned from years of coaching thousands of clients, combining a healthy dose of tough love with compassion and optimism. This book belongs on every therapist’s bookshelf, to be read in times like Covid-19 and beyond, to refer to when needed. And even when not faced with a current crisis, reading this book for prevention is a wise move as it offers what every small business owner needs: a crisis-proofing plan that can light your way in times of darkness or help you to avert disaster altogether.

Download or read book Fully Connected written by Julia Hobsbawm and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the CMI's Management Book of the Year Award 2018 and the Business Book Awards 2018 Twenty-five years after the arrival of the Internet, we are drowning in data and deadlines. Humans and machines are in fully connected overdrive - and starting to become entwined as never before. Truly, it is an Age of Overload. We can never have imagined that absorbing so much information while trying to maintain a healthy balance in our personal and professional lives could feel so complex, dissatisfying and unproductive. Something is missing. That something, Julia Hobsbawm argues in this ground-breaking book, is Social Health, a new blueprint for modern connectedness. She begins with the premise that much of what we think about healthy ways to live have not been updated any more than have most post-war modern institutions, which are themselves also struggling in the twenty-first century. In 1946, the World Health Organization defined 'health' as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.' What we understood by 'social' in the middle of the last century now desperately needs an update. In Fully Connected Julia Hobsbawm takes us on a journey – often a personal one, 'from Telex to Twitter' – to illustrate how the answer to the Age of Overload can come from devising management-based systems which are both highly practical and yet intuitive, and which draw inspiration from the huge advances the world has made in tackling other kinds of health, specifically nutrition, exercise, and mental well-being. Drawing on the latest thinking in health and behavioural economics, social psychology, neuroscience, management and social network analysis, this book provides a cornucopia of case studies and ideas, to educate and inspire a new generation of managers, policymakers and anyone wanting to navigate through the rough seas of overload.

Book excerpt: Whether big or small, companies incessantly face challenges that can threaten their bottom line and even their survival. These threats keep corporate leaders up at night. What can companies do to stay alive? Survive and Thrive: Winning Against Strategic Threats to Your Business features a collection of essays by strategy professors at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, Canada’s #1 business school. The essays take the reader on a tour through some of the most vexing threats to business today, threats that put the very existence of organizations into question. From disruptive innovation, to social media disasters, to mistaken technical investments, to gender discrimination, to misunderstood competition, companies need to be able to anticipate crises and prepare to deal with them head on. Across this collection of essays, readers will get warnings about four mistakes that companies commonly make – failing to appreciate interactions within systems, getting stuck in existing ways of doing business, falling victim to cognitive biases, and getting derailed by short-term incentives. But, this book isn’t just about mistakes. Its primary goal is to provide step-by-step actions to help companies stay alive. Executives will find principles and practices for anticipating potential threats and creating responses that permit their businesses to not only survive but thrive.
Download or read book Turning Tyrants into Tools in Health Practice written by Justin Amery and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In order to provide integrated healthcare, we need to integrate a huge number of...entities. Each one of these entities can be a useful tool for our practice. To be effective practitioners, we hope to gain some mastery of them. But sometimes we feel as if they have mastery of us. There are days when we feel on top of our game, we keep to time, we know instantly what's wrong, the right treatment is immediately to hand, our colleagues are supportive and helpful, and birdsong drifts through our open summer window. Then there are the other days...' Justin Amery This extraordinary new series fills a void in practitioner development and well-being. The books take a reflective step back from the tick-box, target-driven and increasingly regulated world of 21st century health practice; and invite us to revisit what health and health practice actually are. Building carefully on the science and philosophy of health, each book addresses the messy, complex and often chaotic world of real-life health practice and offers an ancient but now almost revolutionary understanding for students and experienced practitioners alike: that health practice is a fundamentally creative and compassionate activity. The series as a whole helps practitioners to redefine and recreate their daily practice, in ways that are healthier for both patients and practitioners. The books provide a welcome antidote to demoralisation and burn-out amongst practitioners, reversing cynicism and reviving our feeling of pride in, and our understanding of, health practice. By observing practice life through different lenses, they encourage the development of efficiency, effectiveness and, above all, satisfaction. The third book in the series, The Integrated Practitioner: Turning Tyrants into Tools in Health Practice explores the relationship between practitioners and their tangible, external tools such as time, computers, money, information, colleagues, equipment, targets and office spaces, along with less tangible elements like knowledge, understanding, language, values and beliefs. These tools can be of great benefit when fully integrated and balanced but they often end up controlling practitioners, dictating the manner in which the practice operates and ultimately reducing efficacy. It suggests ways for practitioners to harness the positive forces of these tools and regain control. Brilliantly written, practitioners, students and trainees and GP trainers will find the enlightening, witty, conversational style a joy to read.
