Episode 24 Language part 2

In my second episode focused on language we use I discuss abbreviations and jargon. Why do we use them? Are there alternatives? Can we make the maternity notes more intelligible to women? If you haven't already done so please do listen to Episode 23 Language part 1 and take a look at the links in the programme notes. You can find out more about me on Twitter @FWmaternity & @TheObsPod please check out #MatExp matexp.org.uk for ideas about how to improve maternity experience.  ...

Om Podcasten

I am an NHS obstetrician hoping to share some thoughts and experiences about my working life. Maybe you enjoy call the midwife, perhaps birth fascinates, or you are simply curious about what exactly an obstetrician is? You might be pregnant and preparing for birth right now. Perhaps you work in maternity care and want to know what makes your obstetric colleagues tick, or you want some fresh ideas and inspiration. Whichever of these is the case TheObsPod is for you. Each episode contains 'the zesty bit' the essence of what I hope you will take away from listening. I do hope you will subscribe and enjoy joining me. Find me on Twitter @FWmaternity & @TheObsPod & explore #MatExp matexp.org.uk to find out more about women and staff working together to improve maternity services.
