As #physios, #AHPs & other medical/Health professionals we need to know & understand the #social #determinants of #health. With a clear understanding of these; we are more likely to #listen & be better informed to successfully #guide people to make positive #behaviourchanges to their 24hr activity cycles that will ACTUALLY stick; in turn #empowering people to directly impact all aspects of their own & potentially their family’s #health & #wellbeing. 🏆 This is win win for all involved in Health & Social care; primarily the people living with whatever their condition/symptoms/diagnosis is 💪🏽 🫣BUT… as HCPs we need to step outside OUR comfort zones to #influence & work collaboratively with other agencies, sectors and depts to educate & inform; ensuring wider changes across all aspects of these Social determinants of health. We can’t keep pulling people out & getting them ‘better’ in the medical model & sending them back to the environments that made them ill in the 1st place 😔 #listen #educate #empower #strategichealth #selfmanagement #populationhealth #positiveaging #addinglifetoyears #leadership
