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

It’s kind of in our blood. But not just chiropractic…paediatrics. Dr. Lionel Marinus was one of the first chiropractors in South Africa to see babies in practice. We used to have “baby hour” where they would all arrive en masse. I loved those mornings. For the parents it was a get together…they...

“standing up straight” is just a performance

Hi Reader Dad Joke: What do you call a snowman with a six-pack? The abdominal snow man! Song of the Week: Last Rickmas - Fl_sh “Stand up straight so Mike can have a look at you.” I hear this a lot … usually from a parent who has just fought their way through afternoon traffic for their child’s appointment. The idea being that they want their child to show me their “posture”. But I know, as do you, that this “standing up straight” is just a performance, there is no way junior is standing like...

Hi Reader Dad Joke: What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? Nacho cheese! Song of the Week: Hollow Coves - Coastline People do things they enjoy doing. People enjoy things they understand. People understand that they need to progress. Ask yourself this…How many people would do karate if there were no belts? How many people would play video games if they couldn’t reach new levels? And how many people carry on with chiropractic care without a plan which shows that they are levelling up?...
