Lead by Example.
We learned together and qualified as medical professionals together.
I’ve broken this one a few times in the name of banter.
We’ve more in common than we take for granted, and we get through this career together.

Paying it forward means we’ll get the same in kind.

Give colleagues the specific and relevant bits they’ll need when transferring care.
How you’d want it if it were coming your way.

How many of us know the intricacies of another Colleague’s day? Difficult enough with the same professional role but across specialities and healthcare roles?
There’s stuff we may not have taken into account.

Keep peeps in the loop, but don’t ‘Reply All’...

With Colleagues or patients, use the appropriate language clearly that doesn’t place them in a position where they feel let down by conditions that can’t deliver on those promises.

None of that procrastinating.
If in doubt, talk it out.

And this relates to previous. It doesn’t honour Colleagues nor patients, takes their workload in vain, and will need to keep them in the know.

Could you do it yourself?
Is it someone else’s work who has the capacity to do it?
Be like Nike. Just do it. 😁
How to make friends and influence, or how to drive round the bend and irritate.
