Medicine can seem like a foreign language to most people, and it can be particularly confusing for children. Being unwell or visiting the hospital can be a scary, overwhelming experience, and despite the best efforts of professionals, children can be left feeling confused. Paediatric patients report feeling lost and frustrated, and find it easier to concentrate on getting better when they understand what’s really going on.

Dr Jargon: Paediatrics challenges players to describe and guess medical conditions and treatments against the clock. Players take turns to select a card and describe the medical term on it to their teammates, but don’t mention any of the jargon words listed on your card – you’ll get “busted” by the opposite team and lose a point!

Dr Jargon is the enjoyable, exciting way to improve how you communicate with patients. Playing Dr Jargon: Paediatrics will help health professionals learn how to communicate clearly with young patients, so that children understand information and focus on their recovery.
