Consultation skills - explaining medical conditions

Review our YouTube clips (click) and assess their strengths and weaknesses to help you perfect your explanations of common medical conditions.

 

Remember, a good explanation should be stripped of medical jargon, use terms, analogies or diagrams which help patient understanding and should be adapted to reflect their ideas, concerns and expectations.

 

These video clips could be improved, why not have a go yourself and send me the video or upload it onto YouTube and I will embed the link in our website?
