Hey there extraordinary Health Care Consultants,
Are you wondering if what you do makes a difference?
Do you sometimes think that you have made no impact; but rather have a “bang head here” sign in front of you. Read More→

Have you ever thought about the many competing demands on Treating Medical and Health Practitioners?
With this knowledge, have you developed a system to help them make decisions that will help you in your management of an injured person’s rehabilitation?
The issue of how to obtain timely, useful and applicable information from GP’s, NTD’s, Specialists and Treating Health Professionals is an old one.
Would you be interested to know that I have had GP’s and a NTD explain to me that they have felt bullied by Rehabilitation Consultants?
Are you like me and have experienced:
- Being annoyed that you continue to be the ‘meat in the sandwich’ for your client, and their insurer, employer and GP/NTD?
- Being intimidated by potentially aggressive, confronting Treating Health Practitioners who belittle your expertise?
- The relentless demands on your time to chase up and obtain the medical advice you need to drive your cases forward?

Have you ever stopped to consider that Rehabilitation Consultants have an incredible opportunity to INFLUENCE Medical and Treating Health Practitioners to help them to see the needs of their patients in the context of returning to work?
Are you like me?
I thought I had a great ability to get the information I needed from GP’s and Treating Health Professionals. It would always take me a long time; and it would mean I needed to organise case conferences very regularly but I got the information I needed…….eventually.
My approach however was expensive. Expensive not only for my rehab case costs but expensive for the demands on my time.
What if there was a better way? A quicker way? A more cost-effective way? A more personally fulfilling way to get the information you need from those involved with your client and without the need for regular case face to face conferences.
Well there is!

Are you sick and tired of communication problems with GP’s, NTD’s and Treating Health Professionals?
Are you frustrated that they cannot, or will, not answer the questions you need answered within reasonable time frames?
So was I!
Take a look at this short video. If you listen carefully you will find 3 specific strategies that will empower you to take control of all of your communication and achieve faster, more useful results with such communication.

One of the least favourite tasks of a Rehabilitation Consultant don’t you think?
Wow! Before I published this article, a heated discussion about the subject started after I shared it with a group of Consultants on Facebook. (to join the conversation go to https://www.facebook.com/PurpleCo). There are some strong opinions about this message.
Well, I am guessing you already know that the best way NOT to help a client get a job is to treat job seeking as ‘compliance management‘.
I guess you also know that there is an assumption made, for Rehab Counsellors and Psychologists, that when you get a job in Occupational Rehabilitation then you automatically know how to get a client a job. I don’t think that is true. But you don’t get off that lightly. If you were able to get yourself a job, chances are, that you can teach someone else ‘how to get a job’.

Are you like me – your to be read pile is almost as long as your to do list?
Does your recommended reading get done when you need a procrastination strategy?
OR, does it wait until you made a bit of a boo boo at work because you weren’t up to date ( that’s embarrassing huh!)
Well here you go, some new changes have been made to the SRC Act that came into effect as of 7 Dec 2011. I thought these were kind of important and would be a helpful thing to know….. so straight from the Comcare website to you. Read More→

Creating Successful Behaviours and Habits
Are your habits (the things you repeatedly do) serving you or holding you back? In order to reach our goals in business, and in life, we must become the person it takes to do the things we need to do in order to reach our goals.
To ‘check-in’ as to whether or not we are conspiring for our own success ask yourself these questions
When did I become slaves to the tools and equipment that were supposed to be serving me?
It’s been an interesting experiment again this week, where I have given myself permission to NOT look at a phone or be online while I have been en route somewhere. It’s been really really hard!
- Sitting still for 10 – 30 minutes without looking at my phone, checking emails, reviewing FaceBook, Linked In or blog post comments.
- Sitting still for 10-30 minutes and not talking on the phone.
- Sitting still for 10-30 minutes and looking out a window, enjoying the sun on my face, feeling the breeze on my skin and enjoying the scent of spring in the air.
