Plain Language Is Good Medicine

Carol Wilson will describe her journey to bring plain language into healthcare. She will share how passion, persistence, and partnerships can pay off and improve care for all.
Carol is an experienced nurse educator with a passion for person-centred health care, health literacy, health equity, and clear communication.
For the last 30 years, she has worked as a plain language specialist, helping clinicians write easy-to-understand health education materials, as well as materials such as forms, surveys, and web pages. She spreads her passion through health literacy, plain language, and patient teaching workshops.
Carol sits on the Technical Committee for Plain Language, drafting plain language standards for Accessibility Standards Canada. Although recently retired, she doesn’t expect to stop working anytime soon. Still lots to do!
