Managing Professional Relationships

As humans, we’re innately collaborative and community-minded. Granted, some of us greatly prefer solitude, but there are still times we need other people, even if we’re introverted. There are simply things we can’t do successfully in life without the support, input, or encouragement of others.

Very helpful and beneficial in terms of collaboration and valuing all staff as equals. Unfortunately I feel this article will resonate more with people already of like mind, as it will be natural practice for them to behave in this way. However, I hope that it is an opportunity for many to reflect on self behaviours and perhaps embrace a new and more collegiate approach to professional relationships.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
