🧠Random Clinical Advice Tip
You don’t need to sound overly confident with patients what you need is to be clear.
Much of patient anxiety doesn’t come from the diagnosis itself, but from uncertainty about what happens next, what’s being ruled out, and how decisions are made.
When things aren’t definitive (which is often), it’s entirely appropriate to say:
“This is what we know so far, this is what we’re considering, and this is our next step.”
This approach does three important things:
- It normalises clinical uncertainty without undermining competence
- It helps patients understand the reasoning behind decisions
- It increases trust, engagement, and adherence to the plan
Patients rarely expect certainty. They expect transparency and direction.
A small communication shift, but one that consistently improves consultations and outcomes.
