Helen Osborne coined the term “ethics of simplicty” to convey the many choices that writers make as they translate complicated health information into plain language. In this workshop, she frames dilemmas that writers often struggle with and facilitates a discussion about solutions.
Topics include:
- The power of medical writers
- What gets lost when simplifying information
- Case scenario and small group discussions
- Discussion about strategies and implementation
Once you and Helen agree to work together, she will:
- Customize presentations. Helen will ask you to complete a Pre-Program Questionnaire (PPQ) and then schedule a call to discuss it. This way, Helen can adapt her talk to meet the specific needs, goals, and preferences of your audience.
- Provide a master copy of her handout. This is not a collection of slides. Instead, Helen’s handouts are filled with valuable how-to information and resources that participants can use as reference after the presentation ends.
- Discuss discounts when purchasing multiple copies of her book, Health Literacy from A to Z: Practical Ways to Communicate Your Health Message, Second Edition.
- Work with you to obtain continuing education credits. This includes providing a timed agenda with teaching formats and behavioral objectives. Helen will also send you her CV.
- Help promote your event. Helen will gladly review your promotional materials and be available for radio and television interviews.
