One of my biggest takeaways from the ‘Introduction to Public Health and Health Promotion’ module was learning how impactful patient education can be. During my placements I noticed many patients had little understanding of their conditions or how their lifestyle choices could affect them. When I learnt that I could encourage my patients, I started to explain how small health changes can better their health in the long run. I remember giving a patient a leaflet about quitting smoking, maybe this small step could be one of the reasons he quit smoking and that makes me feel happy. So I will continue to help educate patients about their health and empower them to take the necessary steps to achieving a healthier outcome.
