I thought it was time to update my LinkedIn bio from its previous dry, professional blurb to something that's a bit more authentic and descriptive.
I’ve always struggled to easily answer the question: "what do you do for work?" My interests and experience are hard to sum up in a 3 sec elevator pitch.
Since I started working at 14&9 months, I’ve held a variety of roles across diverse organisations driven by desire to make an impact/ difference (and perhaps a short attention span).
What impact/ difference do I want to have? I want to see a more compassionate and community-centred care system in Australia.
One that:
?? Identifies and responds to the diverse needs of people
??♀? Holistically supports the best health and wellbeing with prevention and early intervention at its core
?? Delivers, manages and improves the quality of care including ensuring it is timely, safe, efficient, effective, person-centred and equitable
?? Is sustainable and balances the needs of individual people with the needs of the entire population
How do we do this in practice?
?? By talking with a diverse group of people and conducting primary research (not just surveying them, not just relying on published information).
?? By reviewing and critically interpreting the evidence base: what does the evidence say and what are the limitations of the research?
?? By developing a clear aim/ vision and a meaningful action plan to achieve it supported by a theory of change.
???? By developing efficient and effective governance and management systems that enable appropriate direction, oversight and testing of how we deliver and improve care, health and well-being.
If you’d like to discuss ideas, or need another set of hands to help with the above, please get in touch!
