P. 10
Advocacy is not just “Speaking Up”
o Advocacy moves to action/progress when clinicians (or anyone)
engage in meaningful collaboration and partnership with those
that have the authority and resources to respond.
o A clinician who is an effective advocate will:
• Speak up by flagging issues and calling for change
• And, work through the process of change in collaboration with
policy officials, law-makers and other decision-makers
