1. Part of me is pretty keen to finish and get busy with holidays and summer... but another part of me is really going to miss the people I've become friends with over the past 5 weeks. I think I've made the mistake of becoming too close with some of the patients. Oh well. I'm so glad we've finally has some proper prac time and i't's been great hearing eveyone's interesting stories. I've learned heaps about long-term management of people with neurodegenerative conditions, and I have such respect for the people who work here. I've definitely come to appreciate the influence of family dynamics when dealing with paeds patients. There's no substitute for clinical experience - I'm already looking forward to my next prac where hopefully I'll have a completely new and different experience, and build on what I've learned here.
2. Family-centred practice in paeds
Some of what's involved in living with these conditions- carers, transport, feeding, toileting, wheelchair maintenance, effects of the weather, pressure care, EWC sport, surgery, work, therapy, applications to funding bodies, relationships.......
Importance of knowing your anatomy and what a difference that makes to the effectiveness of your Rx
Effective communication with coleagues and patients
Time management
That sometimes you've just got to be a bitch and make them do it, even if they don't want to
