We think this short video is super powerful! 🔥

Language matters right!

It raises an important question: Are the words we use in healthcare always as clear as we think they are? 🤔

At Nottingham West PCN, we know that understanding health information is an important part of staying well and making informed decisions. That’s why we encourage all our teams to use clear, everyday language when communicating.

🎥 Watch the video and let us know:

💬 Have you ever left a healthcare appointment unsure what a word or diagnosis actually meant?

Or…

💬 What’s one medical word or phrase you wish healthcare professionals explained more clearly?

There’s no judgement here. Medical language can be confusing for anyone, regardless of their background or education. By talking about it, we can all help make healthcare easier to understand and more accessible for everyone.

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

We've teamed up with Inspire Eastwood Library to bring you a Scam Awareness session, designed to help you recognise, avoid, and protect yourself from the latest scams.

Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting people through phone calls, emails, text messages, social media, and even at the front door. This friendly and informative session will share practical tips on spotting warning signs, staying safe, and knowing what to do if you think you've been targeted.

To make it as accessible as possible, we're holding the session on Saturday 22nd August at 10:00am, making it easier for those who can't attend during the week.

Whether you're looking to protect yourself or help friends and family stay safe, everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there!

Most people don't remember every appointment.

But they remember how they were treated.

🙂 A smile.

👂Someone listening.

🥰 Being treated with kindness.

🧐 Knowing what happens next.

This year's National GP Patient Survey showed that many people across Nottingham West PCN (Broxtowe) had a positive experience of their GP practice, with particularly encouraging feedback about the kindness and helpfulness of our reception and administrative teams.

⭐That means a great deal to us⭐

It reflects the compassion, patience and hard work shown every day by people who answer the phones, welcome patients through the door and support our clinical teams.

Thank you, too, to the 🌟1,359 local people🌟 who took the time to share their experiences. Your feedback helps us celebrate what's working well and identify where we can do even better.

✅We'll keep listening.

✅We'll keep learning.

✅We'll keep improving.

Because good healthcare isn't just about medicine.

It's about people. 💙
