Our researchers use a variety of scientific, medical and technical terms and acronyms when explaining or presenting their research. We’ve developed a jargon buster to help explain in plain English some of the most commonly used terms. The terms are listed in alphabetical order. There are also tips on how to say some of the terms. Click on the image below to visit the jargon buster.
A special thank you to the members of the Unit’s Patient and Public Research Panel (PPRP) for all of their help in producing, writing and updating the jargon buster.
The jargon buster was written by members of the BTRU in ODT Patient and Public Research Panel, Rachel Brown and Hannah Murray.
