Remember “compliance” is a mute issue in a PERSON FOCUSED paradigm. “We are responsible to our patients not for them.” Let them be responsible. A thread 🧵
I am not a fan of the term “patient compliance” In a person focused care paradigm compliance is a mute issue as are adherence and concordance. As an informed active participant “I choose to, or not to”. Our role as HCP is to provide information and guidance. A brief 🧵

Reflection & metacognition are two great clinical reasoning tools.🧵 I often advise clinicians to choose one patient a day to reflect on. Think about the interaction you had, the flow, the discussion, the treatment, the assessment, the education, the closure and forward plan.

My latest thread pondering on PAIN
🤖 Made with AI
Diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, palpitations, feeling like you are gonna pass out can all occur from psychological stress. No one says that these physical manifestations are “all in your head” Yet there seems to be this stigma around PAIN. I think it’s because PAIN is invisible.

I understand which pain to listen to and which pains can be ignored, unless they change. I really don’t give much thought to nociception or my brain or self generating the pains. Why should our patients?
