Abstract

Language is a vital means of communication and education plays a key role in developing both our general language capabilities but also our use of "Professional language". Learning a professional language is like being inducted into the profession through the shared use of arcane and often obscure words and terminology. What makes sense to a “Professional" could well be gobbledygook/meaningless/nonsense to anyone else. This CPD activity is designed to encourage us to think about how we speak and communicate. In a multicultural country we have to be aware of both how we communicate and also how colleagues and patients are communicating.

Language is a vital means of communication and education plays a key role in
developing both our general language capabilities but also our use of
"Professional language". Learning a professional language is like being inducted into the profession through the shared use of arcane and often obscure words
and terminology. What makes sense to a “Professional" could well be
gobbledygook/meaningless/nonsense to anyone else. This CPD activity is
designed to encourage us to think about how we speak and communicate. In a
multicultural country we have to be aware of both how we communicate and
also how colleagues and patients are communicating.
