078 – Detrimental Language and Documentation

06/26/20 • 99 min

Language is important. Documentation is important. The people we work with are important. But with all these "important" factors splitting our focus, have we lost the point? Zara Mills is an RN with extensive experience in mental health and a passion for improving nursing and healthcare in general. We talk often about the language used in health care and the throw-away terms and conversations had by health professionals that have a profound impact on those we work with....without us even realising it. I'm super glad we got to have one of those conversations on the podcast to share with you all. Keep Occupied Brock @[email protected]
