Clean in health care Community of Practice: November 2024

A Community of Practice meeting for anyone who uses Clean Language in any health or care context.

About this session

Join Judy Rees for a chance to meet and connect with others on the Clean Language journey, ranging from complete beginners who might be using the odd ​“What kind of X?” question, through to people who’ve been using Clean Language for years in a range of contexts. And that’s likely to help all of us to learn and develop the ways that we work.

In a recent survey by Saskie Dorman, people in health care described using Clean Language in several contexts, including face to face, by phone and online:

  • Consultations with patients and families; clinic, ward rounds, home visits
  • Carer support, including in bereavement
  • Colleague support – individually and in groups
  • Supervising junior doctors
  • Teaching and tutorials
  • Coaching – individually and in teams
  • Organisational development
  • Stakeholder meetings
