How to Work With Other Associate Osteopaths

1 – Work with your clinic principal

I’ve already covered problems within this, including How To Get Your Osteopathy Principal Onside With Your Marketing Ideas. It’s important to complete this step as bringing new ideas, and possible positive changes to your principal can demonstrate that you’re an integral part of the practice.

From now on, let’s assume that the principal is good for you and the other associates to do as they wish.

2 – Have regular meetings

If you’ve got a few ideas, but you’re concerned about how to work with other associate osteopaths, try this.

Teamwork and unity create great clinics. One solution is to run the concept by your principal first and actively encourage the idea of everyone meeting together to include everyone. Then you come across as a team player, wanting to see everyone thrive. Furthermore, it gives people a chance not to take part.

What if clinic meetings are not going to be a part of the clinic?

There is no reason you and the other associates can’t take the lead and meet with each other or talk via group chat to discuss your plans. You don’t have to meet in the clinic every time. Make it interesting every month by choosing different places.

3 – Work on your communication

It’s all about actually talking and listening to what everyone is saying. If you all feel that you can talk openly and share the workload, everyone is far more likely to thrive.

Decide between you who’s responsible for what based on each other’s strengths. If there’s an area of marketing an osteopathic clinic someone is not strong at, ensure you all take it on together.

On a side note, don’t gossip. This seems obvious, but it’s an easy trap to get into before you even realise it. Staying away from gossip builds your trustworthiness and reputation. Do this successfully and trust your opinion when suggesting innovative marketing ideas for the clinic.
