Communication is essential...

 and it should be a top priority to ensure the patient is the main focus and does not become overshadowed by their diagnosis. 

 

I will take you from feeling lost and unheard 

to

 IN CONTROL and CONFIDENT 

 

We do this by…

 

1. Establishing your wants/wishes for your journey as well as your questions/concerns. This will help to create confidence so you are not afraid to ask questions and you can make fully informed decisions. 

 

2. Making a plan to get your doctors/healthcare providers on the same page and to clear up any miscommunications that may have occurred. This can include me attending appointments with you to ensure the time spent with your provider is used efficiently.

 

3. Making sure that those that you would like included in your journey are properly brought up to speed about your chronic condition(s). This will help them understand how to support you and how to potentially participate in assisting you, if needed.
