Health specialists are being urged to use clearer language to assist individuals to understand their illness.
A report by the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) tells medics to communicate a lot more gradually and use less jargon when speaking to sufferers since their explanations of illnesses and remedies are too typically perplexing.
It calls for the UK’s 250,000 medics to stay away from the use of phrases such as “chronic”, “palliative” and “hospice”, and warns that describing a diagnosis of cancer as “constructive” can be misinterpreted as great information.
