Session Highlights & Themes:
Dr. Luelo's top 10 principles for representing primary care on committees, working groups, SCNs, etc.:
- Paradigm shift – how we are working right now is not working; we need to embrace that fact
- Prepared – read the dossier, make notes, formulate opinions & questions, ‘let it marinate’.
- Purposeful – start with the end in mind and remember where the locus of control is (or could be) for family physicians in the community that you are speaking for.
- Present – don’t multitask on calls; your colleagues that you are speaking for deserve better!
- Positive - Commit each day to the following:
- Change IS POSSIBLE
- Change is GOOD
- Patients DESERVE our best and we can give it to them
- And “IT WON’T CHANGE YOU IF IT DOESN’T CHALLENGE YOU”
- Practical – we cannot move everything all the way all at once.
- Patient - This is who we are doing it for; this is who pays us; we are patients, too.
- Partner –
- Join forces with others who feel the same passion and seek their opinions/ ideas/ lessons learned
- Listen to people who disagree with your ideas
- Persistent – be sure about your message and repeat it OFTEN.
- Plucky – Dr. Luelo’s word for ‘brave’
