Information Giving

Providing the

correct type

and amount of

information

o Asking patients if they have any questions

Identifies any underlying reasons for question.

Clarifies any concerns

What information would be helpful to them?

o Assessing patient’s starting point

What does the patient already know or

understand?

Aiding accurate

recall and

understanding

o Using explicit categorisation or signposting

e. There are 3 main things we need to discuss

today

o Organising explanations using a logical

sequence and relates information to patients

own ideas, concerns and expectations (ICE)

o Chunking and checking

Chunks of information are discussed and then

patient is invited to ask questions or clarify

further before moving onto next section

o Using repetition and summarising

Key points both at beginning and end of

discussion, paraphrasing main information to

take away

o Using concise, easily understood language

Avoiding jargon or medical terminology

o Using visual methods of conveying

information

o Checking patient’s understanding

e. inviting patient to say in their own words

what they understand from conversation

(consider alternative ways of phrasing)

o Inviting further questions

Is there something else you would like to ask

me about that?
