The Words Matter Podcast brings you insights, reflections and conversations focused on the latest evidence, theory, philosophy and practice of communication-focused healthcare.
Find out about the more tacit, 'softer' and personal side of clinical practice such as the role of philosophy, beliefs, behaviours, developing therapeutic relationships or the purposeful use of language with people experiencing pain from expert academics, clinicians and researchers from across the world and spanning the musculoskeletal disciplines. This podcast will help you reflect on your own current practice and inform and stimulate you to consider new ways of approaching your practice and patients, to create a better clinical experience and outcomes in people with musculoskeletal pain.
Hosted by Dr Oliver Thomson PhD, an osteopath and Associate Professor who is passionate about researching and educating clinicians on a revised narrative, communication and biopsychosocial approach to musculoskeletal therapy.

Excellent
Thoroughly enjoyed this, yet to read the paper myself but I will do! Plenty of clinical relevance. Looking forward to more episodes
Ok
Broad general exclusion and inclusion of opinions discussed in a very research based language. I think based on the specific incident it was a poor execution and comes across as I’m an academic so over-ride your basic knowledge and experience. Personally I thought the pericardium point made was valid but it felt like a click bait comment to ridicule..
