Tackling NHS Jargon by Sarah Carr
Used properly jargon can be effective, but used incorrectly it can damage communications, waste time and money, and harm public, patient and staff relations. This book will enable and encourage readers to use language that the intended audience will understand. It provides practical advice based on the author's experience of producing National Health Service documents and contains explanations of common NHS jargon, with alternatives. Plain speaking and writing techniques are included, and there are numerous examples from real NHS management communications. This is an invaluable book for Health Service managers, clinicians with management responsibilities and all those responsible for communicating information about healthcare.Sarah Carr has reported on the growth of online learning in higher education, the conflict over vouchers and charter schools in metropolitan districts, and the effort to teach China's vast population of migrant children over the past twelve years. Her work has received multiple national prizes and fellowships, the most recent of which was a Spencer Education Journalism Fellowship from Columbia University. She currently resides in New Orleans.
