There must be a new deal with the public to invest in their own health; to take ownership of their well-being. To make this a reality, clinicians need to empower their patients to look after their health and wellness as well as provide them with personalised information.
The government also needs to provide a mandate for clinician-patient engagement in this new era of healthcare.

We need a coordinated medical response to the war, enriched with clinical training to equip clinicians to deal with medical issues that arise as a result of war, so in times of urgency, we are prepared for any outcome.
Patient empowerment is also key to a sustainable effort and thanks to companies like iOWNA we are a step closer to achieving this.
"This is time to develop a well thought out & coordinated plan that could be used as a roll out for any conflict so we are ready to go into battle." Prof Carlos Pavesio

The keys to Surviving and Thriving inside and outside a life of service are attending to physiological needs, self esteem, mental well-being as well as achieving purpose in life.
Join me as I chat to Ashley Pawson, former Royal Marine Commando about finding his purpose inside and outside of the Royal Marines.
The search for a community attracted him to a career in the forces but ironically his desire to provide for family and friends brought him out of service.
Transitioning to a life outside was difficult and after hitting rock bottom he got his life back on track and is now thriving. His mission now is to give back and help others who will follow a similar path.
Getting the right information at the right time is key for those transitioning out of service. iOWNA supports the forces and can provide a digital solution to this problem.
