Create your own unique multi-player game that challenges frontline staff to use jargon-free language. Dr Jargon is a high impact training resource for busy people that improves the clarity of communication with service-users.

It works on any device through a browser. Up to 8 people compete to describe terms without being ‘busted’ for using jargon. Current versions are being used widely in the NHS and universities.

We can create a new version of Dr Jargon to address any topic you choose. Your game would be ready in under 4 weeks. A high impact and low-cost intervention that is effective and fun.

Dr Jargon is a fun, but structured way to practice explaining complex terms without using jargon.
