Special Interest Group

Better Conversations with Clean Language

This group is for people who have an interest in improving the quality of conversations in healthcare. When we have better conversations, we improve mutual understanding and people feel more understood. So, with better conversations we are likely to have better outcomes, fewer mistakes, and greater sense of wellbeing. Our shared curiosity is around how we can use the deceptively-simple Clean Language approach to improve conversations, enhance understanding and enable better healthcare.

  • highlight upcoming events and resources to help develop skills in Clean Language techniques, and
  • explore and develop its practical applications.
