An aspect of clinical practice we can often take for granted is informing patients about "normal" imaging findings.

Just say it's alright, reassure and move on right?

Yet this is a conversation that they've waited a long time for and needs to be taken seriously.

This brief episode gives some suggestions on how to go about it.

This brief episode is the story of how the concept was created, how it was developed and what feedback has been so far.

The most of important thing you can do today is download it from the link below, try it in real life and then let me know how it goes!

Behaviour change conversations can be tricky, but one part most at risk of going wrong and derailing the conversation is raising the topic of the behaviour itself, especially if the person in front of you isn't expecting it.

How can we do this without getting shut down or disrupting any existing relationship, and then how can we get an idea of whether they're willing or able to change right now?

This episode covers this in 3 simple steps.

Many clinicians deliver talks or presentations around the world every day - yet the vast majority leave a lot to be desired.

This episode may sound like a rant,

But it is really a blueprint on how to deliver a presentation or talk that those in attendance will actually engage with, remember and implement afterwards.

The suggestions are simple, but even if you do just one or two of them, you will easily elevate your future talks or presentations beyond the rest

Body language is often stated to have the biggest impact on communication in conversations compared to the words spoken and tone used.

Yet not as much attention and clinical research has beendirected to this area.

And whilst the evidence is still evolving, there are some essentials that are relevant to all clinicians that have a significant impact on the outcomes of the conversation and are covered in this episode.
