ABOUT THE FOUNDER

DR. SIMON CRAIG

Dr Simon Craig has been a medical doctor for over 30 years, specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and working in both the private and public systems. Over his career, Dr Craig has created and led many teams, supervised multiple junior staff, and participated in regulatory groups and activities.

The creation of PosMed is based upon a need. Our institutions and those within them have struggled for too long with systems that require improvement. PosMed has a focus on building individual flourishing and high performing organisations.

All in healthcare have a right to desire the best systems possible – those that allow for well-being and achievement within a culture of kindness, openness, and excellence. Dr Craig’s vision is that PosMed can be part of the process leading to optimal outcomes.

FROM HURTING TO HEALING -
DELIVERING LOVE TO MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE

In the current healthcare crisis, is it possible to rethink the way we do things?

Australian healthcare systems are stretched and cracking. There are never-ending reports of unacceptable delays, a lack of resources, poor culture, and skyrocketing burnout rates. The problems are overwhelming and appear insurmountable.

From Hurting to Healing takes you inside the often-closed doors of hospitals, healthcare, and medical culture into an environment where practices that have worked brilliantly in the past are now breaking down.

Dr Simon Craig, an experienced medical leader, offers insights, initiatives, and inspiration to try and repair the damaged and damaging healthcare systems that currently operate. This moving study reveals that our crumbling healthcare institutions are failing in what should be at the heart of the system: caring for each other.

Dr Craig outlines his vision of a new way; A kinder and more humanistic approach that can help transform the devastation that exists in health today.

From Hurting to Healing reveals the extent of the distress, imagines an alternative future, and delivers to healthcare leaders a guidebook to begin recreating a part of society that is vital to us all.
