WILL YOU KISS IN THE CSA EXAM?

Hellooo Friend!!!


Hema Here!


Give me a biggg Hi 5 !


KISS...KISS...KISS...




If you are thinking about something physical Here....
Hi Friend, I would say You have got a very good imagination and need a holiday!

Remember... We are in CSA Preparation Blog...

No Time to even Stand and Stare!

I am going to Tell you What Happened in my Surgery recently...Aware of confidentiality :-)

One of my patients recently told me that he would kiss me if allowed (hope not :-) when he came for a medication review.
As I took time to get the histology report from our hospital ICE page and told him the biopsy tissue was a harmless thing, NOT Cancer!


He was totally elated...
It had taken the HUGE burden off his heart.

He would be dreading about cancer for weeks before he got to see the surgeons.

Now he can enjoy the fantastic sunshine!
Temperature is 26- 27 degrees  this weekend!

Just finished some gardening. Clematis blossoms are sooo beautiful...


All that EXTRA effort is very rewarding, Isn't it? 


NOW Seriously,
I am not talking about THAT kind of KISS....
Yes, You might be shouting now -

''Hema, I know all about it-  It is - KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID''.
Hooray!!!  You are right!


YOU are very Smart! (Big Hi 5 again!)

I would say - Keep It Simple Smart!




It is ALL about keeping our Explanations bit Simple.
During our Practice, one of my friends called Chaitra always used to tell me - 'LESS IS MORE'.

You know me by now, right?
That is very DIFFICULT for me. (You can see from my blog).
I would try to Make my Poor Patients 'EXPERT' about their Problems.
That too in TEN minutes.
How annoying it would be!

That is not at all necessary.

The Secret Keys are to....

1. Ask what they KNOW already?

(Our programme director told us about asking a patient if she knew about virus. She replied back that she was a VIROLOGIST!) Is the spelling correct?

2. What they WANT to know?

When I started GP post,

I was explaining all about NSAIDS for OA but the patient simply wanted to try Physio!!!

(How silly me!)

3. How MUCH they want/need to know?

I always struggle here-
Just need to Ask them to make it Easier.
Tailor the explanation according to the patients' individual needs.

That brings in the importance of finding out their ideas, concerns and expectations!
Now I remember seeing a great Secret on my HSBC relationship officer's mouse pad.
I am sharing it just with you....It is our little secret! :-)
That Secret MANTRA is...

''LISTEN, UNDERSTAND, DELIVER''.
If it works for them, Definitely, IT will work for us too.
I am sure it will save lots and lots of time, energy, etc, etc.( feel free to add whatever suits you).



The Best Thing we can do for ourselves is to Keep it Simple.

Keep it to the bare minimum to start with.

The important thing is to consistently practise them.
So it becomes our HABIT!  
Consistent Practice makes Actions into Habits!
We will certainly look and feel more confident! Wowww!
Good luck with your practice!

To Your Success,

Hema xoxo.

EMBRACE THE CHANGE FOR CSA EXAM!

Hellooo Friend!!!

Hema Here!

Give me a Biggg Hi5!


Are you really ready for the 'CHANGE'?


Let me ask you something...


Have you heard the expression ?

''If you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got?

If You have been Waiting for a Change,

But Not Doing Anything Different or Applying New Habits,

Then Might be....

Why You are Getting What You have Always Got.

''We must all suffer from one of Two Pains:

The Pain of Discipline or the Pain of Regret.

The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons''

- Jim Rohn.

Here is a chance to do it differently, to learn how to do it

better and to BECOME someone who is SUCCESSFUL.

This is the right time - CSA time.

The Choice is Yours!


Choice is YOURS...

Start working in the Right direction as Early as Possible in your GP career.

Find out What is Wrong...

Feel Free to Pester your Colleagues, Trainers, Programme Directors to learn the Right Way.

Ask them to Show/Roleplay if you are not sure.

Have lots and lots of practice, video sessions, shared surgery... list is limitless.

Find a way/words you are comfortable with!


Make a TO DO List.

Think about your Attitude! your Mindset!

They Play a Strong Part in Your Success.

Don't be Alone.

Form a Practice Group, the Smart Group :-)

Learn from Each Other.

Be Your Own Worst Critic!





Be the CHANGE you want to SEE.

Keep interacting!

To Your Success,

Hema xoxo.

HOW TO LEARN FOR CSA EXAM?

Hellooo Friend!


Hema Here!


Give me a Big Hi 5!

DOMAINS (NOT DEMONS!) OF LEARNING NEEDS

If you are reading this blog, I am sure that you really, really want to take a BIG leap in improving your learning pattern to meet your individual needs.



Most People in life are 'Say-ers'.

But, You have proved yourself to be a 'Do-er'.

That is Rare!

You should be Proud!


Start Planning for CSA as Early as Possible.

Sooner is Better!

Domains of Learning Needs-


In simple terms, they fall into Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes!


KSA  for our  CSA!    

Hooray!!!


Knowledge is Easy - Peasy.

Remember, we have already passed our AKT :-)

What about the Skills?

To whom I am talking with? 

You are the Best with your Practical Skills!

But in CSA mode???

It is ENTIRELY different!

This is going to be your Best Friend!

Our Super friend - Skill has three magical wands to help us!

1. Cognitive wand

To think about what we are Doing.

2. Fixative wand -

To get it right by mere Practice.

3. Autonomous wand -

To go on Auto-Pilot mode. Wowww!

Intention becomes Action- Action becomes Habit.



Next comes the Attitude!

What do you think about it?

Is it easy to upgrade IT ?

(I wish Steve Jobs had an App for it)

I LUV STEVE JOBS!! DON`T YOU?

I think....

Attitude is the trickiest bit to get it right!

This should come from Within.

It Explores Values, Honesty, Safety of Patients and Attitudes.

Be brave in CSA in similar scenarios to stand for your beliefs.

Like unrealistic expectations, sick note demands, under -performing colleague,etc. 

Try to explain WITH the Genuine reasons.
Finally think about our Facade and Blind spots!

( I am not talking about driving lessons here)

Facade -  what we know that we do not know (Easy bit!).

Blind spot -  what others know that we do not know(Scary!).

In addition to exploring our lovely Patients' Ideas, Concerns and Expectations,

Now - we are going to explore our OWN Facade and Blind spots!

Once you know, WHAT You Want, 

Everything is Easy- Peasy!!   Lemon- Squeezy!! 

Just Go and Get them!




Wowww!! Give me a Bigggg Hi5 again!!!!







K
eep interacting!

To Your Success,

Hema xoxo.
