Connected Paediatrics Weekly: Check those systems


Hi Reader

Dad Joke: What happens if you eat Christmas decorations? You get tinsel-itis

Song of the Week: Coldplay - Man in the Moon​

This week was…interesting.

I got an email from a student saying that they couldn’t access the technique bank on our membership. Now the technique bank is kind of the backbone of the operation, it’s where you go when you need to know how to adjust a sphenoid, test a newborns tone, help out with tummy time etc…it’s a quick reference when you need it…and it needs to be up and running!

Turns out our learning platform decided to update and we needed to tweak a few things to get the technique bank up and running, quick turnaround and everything was sorted chop chop…

But… it made me take a good hard look at the content.

Turns out we have covered a lot of ground on the masterclasses in the last few years, the research has updated and even though the technique bank is awesome…it could be even more awesome.

So that’s the new plan…updates.

But I wouldn’t have thought of it had we not had a crisis that made me refocus.

How are the forms in your office, the systems for new patients, your care plan maintenance? If you haven't looked over them in a while, take this as the sign to review. You may find there is space for more awesome in your practice

P.S. If you are already on the membership…you’re in for a holiday treat…we’re uploading new content to the technique bank all this week.

Chat soon,

Mike

Hi Reader Dad Joke: Why did the scarecrow win an award at university? Because he was out-standing in his field. Today was a big day for our family. We’ve just arrived home from dropping my daughter off at University for the first time, still can’t quite believe we’re here already. The build-up has been intense. It’s been a good few weeks of thinking back, dusting off the memories and wanting each moment to last just that little bit longer. As part of the last week, I have been checking and...

Hi Reader Paeds in Motion 2: Toddlers to Teens is happening on 13 & 14 March 2027 - in Johannesburg! This is exactly the kind of thinking we’ll unpack in March. If paediatric practice is an area you want to become genuinely good at, this is an important part of your journey. Many chiropractors feel confident working with infants but when a 6 year old with posture issues or a 14 year old athlete walks through the door, uncertainty creeps in. Our Paeds in Motion 2 seminar gives you the clinical...

A lot of people ask how you get a child to sit still while you examine them…and here was the answer

Hi Reader Dad Joke: What did the ocean say to the beach? Nothing it just waved. What a week it’s been. From getting stuck in the middle of the UK airline drama and having to cancel a full day of patients to ending the week by assisting Dr Marty Rosen with his UK SOT paediatric certification hands on component. There is something about watching someone who has honed his craft over decades. The depth of knowledge and the different perspectives he can give off the cuff are remarkable. But the...
