In this episode, we focus on long-term respiratory conditions with Dr Llinos Jones, who reflects on her experiences tackling inequalities of care within Kirklees. Dr Llinos Jones is a Respiratory Consultant based at Dewsbury and District Hospital.

Dr Llinos Jones would like her take-home messages to be:

  • Have an appreciation of the potential barriers which may exist for certain patients when it comes to understanding what their treatment is and why they should take it.
  • Be mindful of the issues regarding general literacy and health literacy amongst your patients. Consider tailoring the advice you give to your patients, based on their literacy skills.
  • Be aware of the cultural differences which may exist within your regional practice.
