About this blog

Initiated by Nuffield Hospitals as part of its 50th Anniversary celebrations, Healthspeak is a debate about the language used to describe, deliver and manage healthcare.

Language is important. Vocabulary shapes ideas, ideologies and paradigms, it sets expectations and defines success and failure.

Nuffield Hospitals believes that the vocabulary of healthcare may have become riddled with assumptions and orthodoxies which are no longer fit for purpose.

We will expose this issue to a thorough examination at a series of events throughout 2007.
