Language Training

We’re delighted to announce the first fully co-produced training session on language in health and care.

When: Monday 24 November 2025, 9.30am - 4.30pm
Where: Boardroom, Bridge House, Sleaford, NG34 8GG

The session will be:

• Interactive - expect to join in discussions and activities
• Challenging - it will stretch your thinking about how you communicate
• Grounded in stories - you’ll hear directly from people about when language has got it wrong - and when it’s been done right

We’ll also look at health literacy in Lincolnshire and explore the impact of our everyday written and spoken words. You’ll be encouraged to bring along a letter or leaflet from your service, so we can reflect together on how accessible and clear it really is.

This isn’t about policing language. Instead, we’ll ask:

“Would you use these words around the dinner table with family and friends?”

How to take part in the language training

If this work to develop the language we use sparks your interest, we’d love for you to be part of the first training session!
