I was fortunate enough to have been invited by Physio First to contribute to their journal ‘In Touch’ and I chose to write about managing complexity with the different types of ‘evidence’ that we deal with in a healthcare setting.
This is an area of interest for me and I still grapple with many areas of clinical practice. These include balancing the normative and narrative examination, evaluating and weighting the evidence appropriately for the person seeking care in front of me and also reconciling and communicating the reasoning process within a person centred framework. Clearly, this is work in progress and I hope this reflective piece demonstrates a movement in this direction.
I hope this paper is informative and useful in that it shares some of my deliberations, thoughts and perspectives in clinical care.
Many thanks to Physio First http://www.physiofirst.org.uk/ for giving me the opportunity to share this.
