plain english glossary

The SingHealth Plain English Glossary was created in 2019 to help healthcare professionals communicate effectively with patients and caregivers. The glossary simplified some commonly used clinical terms into simplified layman explanations. The original version is available at this link.

The SCH Plain English Glossary is an enhanced version with additional clinical terms that are relevant to patient care in community hospitals. We hope the glossary can be useful to you in your communications with patients and caregivers!
