We’re proud of our history of creating communication that can be accessed and understood. We believe accessible communication should be more than an aspiration. Not only is it foundational for effective awareness and behaviour change, it’s also a human right.
A new day of reckoning is upon us as communicators. A new reminder to commit to clarity and watch our words. No more utilising, away with leveraging; triage be gone. Time to drop the jargon, especially if you regularly communicate with the wider community about health.
Diabetes care – the question of cultural influence
I recently completed a 12-week work placement at Fenton Communications as part of a Master of Public Health degree. During my placement I worked on a project looking at diabetes in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The project surveyed health professionals to see if they would value communication resources that could enhance their understanding of cultural influences on diabetes care and management.
I have a real soft spot for good speakers. There is something invigorating about listening to informative, entertaining people who really know how to engage an audience.
We recently had the pleasure of working with a national client to develop a strategy for communicating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) communities about a serious health issue.
