Further course detail
Within this course, delegates will cover:
1. Adult learning
· Explain how adults learn through spaced repetition, conversion of short to long term memory
· Active vs passive learning
2. When medical terminology is used
· Not between professionals and patients – patient friendly language
· When patients use terms like 'vertigo' its unhelpful to professionals
· Medical terms should only be between professionals.
3. Components of medical words
· Prefix – start of the word, modifies the meaning
· Word roots – most are Greek or Latin (or Arabic, Anglo-Saxon and German)
· Combining vowels – like o or other vowels, can be dropped if the suffix begins with a vowel
· Suffix – found at the end, may add to or modify the meaning
