BTOG 2025 | Improving communication for better patient understanding in lung cancer care
Debra Montague, ALK Positive Lung Cancer (UK), Monmouthshire, Wales, emphasizes the importance of using clear and simple language when communicating with patients, particularly those with complex medical conditions, to ensure informed consent and effective understanding of their challenges. She highlights that using technical jargon can be a barrier to informed consent, and that healthcare professionals need to improve their communication skills to address patients’ needs. This interview took place at the BTOG 2025 congress in Belfast, UK.
