31. #WMTY - What Matters To You?

Wild Card - Whose Shoes?

"What matters to you?"
‘What matters to you?’ is a brilliant global movement, whereby healthcare professionals ask patients what matters to them, in terms of personalising healthcare.
It is about listening and hopefully understanding what matters to the patient in the larger context of their life. This will vary greatly between individuals – people’s priorities are different. Their circumstances, their values, their attitudes are unique. What matters toeach of them will all be different.
It is brilliant that this is being increasingly recognised as being important in health care, rather than people just being seen as medical problems to fix, in a 'one size fits all' type approach.
Thursday 9 June was World What matters to you?’ day, so, as my contribution for 2022, I have made this podcast episode exploring this theme, some of my own thoughts and experiences, and bringing in lots of clips of people talking about what this really means to them.
The power of audio - let's listen to the fantastic things people are already sharing, without constantly needing to re-invent the wheel and saying the same (often painful things) over and over again.
I hope you find it thought-provoking and engaging.
Lots of shoutouts to podcast contributors and listeners. We have listeners from all around the world! THANK YOU!! Please leave a review.
