Use Speaking Clinically to supplement Grand Round or Case-Based seminars.
Speaking Clinically is a video archive of patients talking openly about their medical conditions. It can be used as a teaching aid or for self-directed study.
With a vast number of recorded patient experiences, it will enrich learning by providing the patient perspective and their individual experiences of health and illness. The resource is operated by the Medical Schools Council and has been made available to support studies. University of Liverpool staff have full access to the Speaking Clinically library of patient interviews and case summaries.
