An interesting discussion here about collective terms. I typically talk about ‘people’ who receive and provide healthcare but, for short, often use the terms ‘patients’ and ‘staff’, being mindful that all staff are also patients somewhere and some patients are also staff.

That feeling when you open your institution’s participant information sheet template and you wonder how long it’s going to take to create a document that is easy to read, informative and sparks interest. 😬 #ResearchWoes
