Practitioner

Please fill in the following 4 sections by ticking those statements that resonate with you. You will end up with a 4 digit score that will show your current tendencies as a practitioner. There is no judgement around one zone over another. The purpose here is to compare what you are currently doing with what you want to do, and who you want to be, as a practitioner.

Passive

My primary clinical focus is to do what the patient wants

I don’t really know where my career is headed.

Many of my patients have a similar problem so need a similar treatment.

I don’t have a scientific foundation that explains what I do….I just treat!

I find high volumes of clinical practice draining.

Plateau

I have a clear idea of what my patients want.

I understand, and am interested in, the ‘why’ behind my treatment techniques.

I am established enough in practice to treat a lot of “regulars”.

I have been in practice long enough to know what “works”.

I no longer learn many new skills that I can use in practice.

Potential

I got into healthcare to help people overcome problems.

I find my treatment is effective but feel some of my patients need more.

I end up treating some people even though I know it probably won’t help.

I don’t really know how to evolve my practice to help solve a wider range of problems.

I am constantly learning and upskilling, but don’t find it changes my practice much.

Performance

I care about what my patients want but I don’t let them control the consult.

I can translate my CPD into better work for me and better outcomes for my patients.

I have good variability in my work because no 2 people nor their problems are the same.

As a healthcare practitioner, I regularly make decisions and recommendations.

My personal values align with the work I do in practice.

About Grant

Grant can’t sing. Though he once was a promising boy soprano landing solo performances of We 3 Kings and Our Don Bradman. Then his voice broke. Career over.

Grant can’t act. Though in 2013 he was in a Tropfest film that finished just outside the top 16 that made it on TV. Some of Grant’s cringeworthy lines no doubt cost the film, particularly the outstanding cinematographers and special effects crew. He apologises.

Grant can’t dance. No story here. He can’t dance.

So using the traditional definition of the Triple Threat, Grant falls well short!

However, when building ProMotion to create motion in solving the more complex problems in the musculoskeletal industry, Grant is well credentialled with his own niched Triple Threat.

Grant has practiced as an Osteopath for over 2 decades, working with literally thousands of patients -helping some, unable to help others, all the while learning why more people have ongoing musculoskeletal problems than any other health condition.

Grant has considerable leadership experience in the musculoskeletal private practice setting. He built and led a practice for 12 years and experienced the vast changes that occurred from 2006- 2018 in the world, and importantly, their impact on the running of a musculoskeletal practice.

Grant also has workplace health experience in the UK and understands why the traditional ways companies manage musculoskeletal injuries are so often inadequate at driving down injuries and associated costs.
