If we’re to be successful in meeting the 4 great population health challenges of this time, we must reject transactional approaches to care and commit to Careful & Kind care - a value based approach with people and equity at its heart. #RealisticMedicine gov.scot/binaries/content/do…
Looking forward to learning more about this at #NHSScot23 today @DrGregorSmith
I publish my annual report tomorrow, an update to #RealisticMedicine. I write about the population health challenges facing us, the need to avoid transactional, industrial care & risk of de-professionalisation. But there’s also hope- with great examples of work countering this.
A chance to join a great team 👇
