The Happiness of Health - The current medical approach to health is centred around 'sick-care' - you have to be ill to first receive care. Changing this current mindset in the current health system requires a different approach to medical education and research, as well as those regarding health policies. Going forwards, whilst we truly feel the need to make a change to a patient-centred, whole person, 'health care' approach - let us focus on keeping people healthy, rather than wait for them to get sick.
The role of a primary contact practitioner should be that of a health coach, driving attitudes and behaviours to maintain health and optimise well-being; and this through a co-ordinated, multi-disciplinary approach. Information is the keystone to making this change, not merely the conclusion of a diagnosis.
