As a member of the NHS i am fortunate to have access to information and training not readily available to those of you in PP.
I am therefore pleased to pass important developments in the profession on to those who cannot otherwise access them.
After a training session today i can reveal that it is no longer appropriate to refer to patients as compliant or non complaint. Instead the correct terminology is now that they are concordant or non concordant.
I know that many members of this forum, particularly Del, will be most grateful for this update and releived that they will not be inadvertantly using unacceptable or non PC terminology. A lucky escape for you guys.
You're all welcome Robert

Hi Rob thank you for imparting that ground breaking news !! I expect after several hours of meetings and such the 9 year old with the degree who has researched this most important study of terminology will have to make the decision on which main grouping to file this in ?? Would it be Bowlocks? or Bollox ? That is the question Its a great shame the NHS could not spent their time on things like clinical care and hands on improvements instead of this tosh cheers Buddy D

Robert dahlink, After a training session today i can reveal that it is no longer appropriate to refer to patients as compliant or non complaint.

They come in two variaties: 1) Those in comfy shoes with structural anomalies requiring expert attention (& payment). 2) Those in Jimmy Choos with mental anomalies, still requiring expert attention (& payment) but with a shorter return.

Sorry Robert but your trust is behind the times as concordance formed a part of the essays we did on the top up degree a year ago. To make matters more interesting the cohort was divided up into 3 sets of 3 people. We then had to script and perform two short plays per set that exampled poor pt practitioner encounter, the latter play demonstrating concordance. Needless to say that my role in this meant missing the auditions as the body double for Daniel Craig the Quantum of Solace. Still the sent me a pair of the bond swim trunks to model. Perhaps that is too much information for the delicate amongst us!! Cheers Ian

if this was done a year ago surely by now it must be way out of date and as such have been superceeded by another form of terminology. my money is on "differently grateful"

Perhaps "aquiesciently challenged"?
Without resorting to google anyone know who we now have to refer to as "bariatric"? Starter for ten you may confer.

Ron wins a doughnut! Yes bariatric is those with a BMI over 40.
Presumably "morbidly obese" sounded a bit downbeat.
Personnally i would have gone for "cuddly" or "festively plump".
Regards Robert
;D Salad dodgers. Love it.
