Love this graphic - beware 'leadership tampering' in the early phase of change!

Calling all FCPs! Please help if you can. We would be so grateful if you could complete the survey and share amongst your FCP peers. Thank you :) @RogerKerry1

The "J-Curve" of change is a helpful concept when thinking about the trajectory of a change initiative. Leaders assume that they will see early results from the implementation of change but performance often gets worse before it gets better. There are many reasons for it; disruption to existing systems, people fearful of & getting used to new ways of working; it's a learning curve for the system. One of the worst things that happens as a result of the J-Curve is "leadership tampering": leaders impatient for results who start to fiddle with the new system before new arrangements get a chance to work through. There are many things we can do to reduce the impact of the J-Curve: 1) Stay focused on shared purpose & values, giving people the confidence to move towards a different future that is more compelling than the status quo 2) Anticipate that an "implementation lag" may happen and set expectations based on that 3) Provide support - technical, emotional, learning 4) Involve everyone in the change process, so it is done "with" people, not "to" them 5) Adjust, based on learning & feedback, through small test of change This article is from @dviney who developed the concept of the J-Curve: david-viney.me/post/the-j-cur….

@LouiseH05500526 @RowanHarwood @VickyABooth @LoganPip Congratulations Louise - lovely to see you at graduation 👩‍🎓

Thrilled to have graduated with a PhD in Health Studies from the University of Nottingham today. I will be forever grateful to my supervisors @RowanHarwood @VickyABooth and @LoganPip for all their support.

Do consider our @TheACPRC writing retreat! We all need time (and space and a bit of gentle prodding) to write all sorts of things - a business case, clinical audit, literature review, case series or postgraduate university work. If you are tempted but unsure, just get in touch!

@ashjamesphysio - don’t let FCPs get caught in the crossfire. All you need to know about FCP GP debate

New paper! First study to show that training line managers in mental health is related to lower long-term mental health sickness absence, recruitment/retention, and business performance. Invest in your line managers! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… #Workforce #MentalHealth @ERC_UK @ESRC

Physiotherapy, it's about people.

@theLDphysio Wow. Just wow. @UoN_SHS @UoNPhysio you make us so proud

Ten key elements to create a social movement to spread change on a massive scale. Here the methodology is applied to "Grand Challenges" - collaborative responses to significant social problems that demand large-scale change. The approach can be used for other kinds of social change on a smaller scale: @SethKahan/creating-a-social-movement-frame-and-build-the-case-277337dd6e89" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@SethKahan/cre… By @21stCenturyAssn

First week on placement complete ✅

One of the most powerful aspects of design thinking is that it encourages us to focus very strongly on defining the problem. Far too often, we rush into change solutions with a lot of assumptions about the problem we are addressing. It means we limit the possibilities of our solutions in advance of any actual solution being developed. The most radical, breakthrough innovation is usually much more about reinventing or rethinking the problem than it is about developing solutions. So, it's usually good advice to pause, to stop the rush to solutions, and go backwards to the problem: medium.com/the-emergent-f… By Jason Frasca on @Medium.

@Dr_Sumner @kirstyhyndes Hi Rachel! Yes - will do. I’ll submit a library request next week 😊

@kirstyhyndes @fimo18 Thanks for looking! To sooth an anxious first-time book author's mind, would you mind telling me what about the book looks useful for your area of practice please? I'm delighted (and surprised!) to see such a wide range of fields interested in this, and would love to know why!

Must get this @fimo18

"When we adopt an equity framework (figure 1), we empower individuals to prioritise movement and physical activity as important components of their own health and wellness journeys. Like starting anything new, knowing you aren’t alone can encourage a lasting commitment. Let’s take these first five steps toward movement equity together! By sharing and practicing this knowledge with families and communities, we will sow the seeds for a culture of movement across the lifespan and around the world."

@kirstyhyndes I’ll submit a request to the library next week!
