Chris Desmond is a Physiotherapist in Wellington, New Zealand. He is the host of the Art of Healthcare podcast, which explores the human side of healthcare and how it relates to providing excellent clinical outcomes for our patients.
At university, we learn the clinical aspects of our profession well. After university, a lot of continuing education focuses on improving our clinical skills and knowledge, which is extremely important; however, that's only part of it.
If you want to be a great podiatrist and healthcare provider, you need to understand the human skills of healthcare.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Resilience Strategies
- Turning the voices off in your head
- Why do some patients get better clinical outcomes when they see someone else, even though they provide the same treatment?
- Improving communication skills.
- Experienced clinicians versus new graduates.
- Daily preparation and mental resets.
- New techniques and new technology do not make you a better clinician.
- Patient Identity: Don't just look at the physical injury or symptoms; dig deeper so you can understand how it affects their identity.

Final tip
Always remember the patient in front of you is a person; treat them as a person. Also, remember you are a person as well, be a person, not a clinician.
