The course will interest you if you work for:

• the Health Service;
• an NHS Trust; or
• a company in the health sector.

The morning session will cover Plain English Campaign’s main recommendations for clearer writing.

(Note: if you have been on the one-day ‘plain English course’ in the last year or so, you will find you have already covered these recommendations.)

Examples will cover such techniques as:

• writing short sentences;
• using bullet points;
• being ‘active’ not ‘passive’; and
• using verbs to emphasise action.

The afternoon session will focus on design techniques and editing examples of medical literature.

The day is very interactive, and will include such topics as:

• hospital appointment letters;
• patient information leaflets; and
• ‘over-the-counter’ medicines.
