Plain Language and Community Education

Drop the Jargon Day 2025

Since 2014, CEH has used Drop the Jargon Day to highlight how unclear language can create barriers to healthcare, particularly for people from migrant and refugee backgrounds.

This year’s theme, Meet people where they are, focuses on embedding health literacy principles to build understanding and empower communities. In partnership with Jean Hailes for Women’s Healthwe’ll highlight how community voices help shape clear, accessible health information.
