How doctors talk to patients - an educational session with Michael Rosen

  • Friday, 28th November 2025, 1.00pm – 2.00pm
  • Online Event
Michael Rosen - an English children's author, poet, presenter, political columnist, broadcaster, activist, and academic, who is a professor of children's literature in the Department of Educational Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London

 

In 2020, Michael Rosen was intubated and ventilated. He was in intensive care for 47 days. When he woke up, he had no idea what had happened to him and though doctors and nurses told him, he didn't understand the words they were using. In this meeting, he'll talk about the gaps between the language of medical expertise and how untrained people talk about such matters.

Learning objectives: 

  • Learn from the lived experience of Michael Rosen during the pandemic
  • Understand how gaps can be created between the language health professionals use and patients
  • Explore the role of General Practice in bridging the gap between what patients understand or don’t understand 
  • Encourage health practitioners to play with the language they use in their consultations
     

This session will be facilitated by Dr. Patrick Hutt - GP Partner Queensbridge Group Practice, City and Hackney Practitioner Education Lead
