English Practice For Healthcare - Episode 10
<p>In the tenth episode of English Practice for Healthcare we hear from George and Theresa about George’s experience of type 2 diabetes. Every healthcare professional will come across a patient with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes and this long-term condition needs to be considered when formulating their care plan. Diabetes is an area of healthcare in its own right and in both a community and hospital environment there will be specialist teams you can consult for support in caring for patients with diabetes. In this episode you will hear about the relationship of type 2 diabetes to the food we eat as well as the importance of diabetic eye screening and footcare. It’s an excellent opportunity as well to hear the regional accent of Lancashire.</p><p>For more information about diabetes please visit the website for the UK charity Diabetes UK. They have a podcast where you can listen and learn about lots of different topics:</p><p><a href="#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=podcast&gsc.page=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Search | Diabetes UK</u></a></p><p>In the episode we discuss a group of medications called ‘Flozins’.

English Practice For Healthcare - Episode 09
<p>In my ninth episode there is the opportunity to hear three examples of different English idioms as you listen to Lynne and I’s discussion of her experience of the menopause. There are again many points you can reflect on, which means to think carefully about something and consider different possibilities, opinions, and approaches to something. Reflection is an important skill in healthcare, and it helps us to continuously improve the care we deliver. I recommend the UK organisation ‘The Menopause Charity’ to complete some further study and to practice your English reading skills. They have some fantastic resources, specifically for healthcare professionals.

English Practice For Healthcare - Episode 08
<p>In this episode you can continue to build on your knowledge of the storytelling tenses for past events used in English from the last two episodes. Anne, like Kevin is describing something that happened over 10 years ago. Also, like Kevin, she can remember what happened in great detail as she shares a very significant health event in her life, having a stroke. There is the opportunity to reflect on the different ways stroke and stroke recovery affect people and use this as a platform for your own learning into the role of occupational therapists in modern day healthcare. </p><br><p>Please see a link below to the NHS website to start this. There is also a link to the website of the Stroke Association. This is an excellent charity in the UK that raises awareness of stroke and offers support and reliable information to anyone who needs it. Also see the link to my website if you would like to read along using the transcript, while you listen.
