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

The Lost Boys from Neverland

Hi Reader Dad Joke: Why is Peter Pan always flying…because he neverlands! Song of the Week: Lost Boy - Ruth B They’re the ones who fall through the cracks. Too old to be “cute and developmental”.Too young to be taken seriously as adults. The lost boys of neuromusculoskeletal care. (And yes, I’m thinking Peter Pan.) Older children sit in a strange no-man’s-land of healthcare. When we see babies, we instinctively respect development. We talk about milestones, reflexes, variability, and...

Hi Reader Dad Joke: Why did the tomato turn red at the gym? It saw the salad dressing, and realized it needed to work on its core. Song of the Week: Johnny Clegg (With Nelson Mandela) - Asimbonanga (after spending some time in my home country South Africa this feels like the right song for this week.) Picture a core workout… I bet most of us have in mind a scene at the gym with yoga balls, reformer machines and lots and lots of lycra. But how many people do you think would picture a baby...

Hi Reader Dad Joke: Do you wanna hear a construction joke? I'm still working on it! Song of the Week: Inkululeko Lyndani ft Bhodloza Development is interesting. Mainly because it doesn’t work the way we think it does…let me explain. Let’s take the first year of life as an example. We initially assume that it’s pretty much a straight timeline from prone and supine to roll to sit to crawl to pull to stand…and on and on…but it isn’t. It’s much more of a “build up and burst” type of deal where...
