Medical language can feel overwhelming, particularly when you’re waiting for answers. Understanding the terminology can make conversations with healthcare professionals feel clearer and help you ask the questions that matter to you.

If you’re unsure what a term means, or what it means for your individual circumstances, ask your healthcare professional to explain it in plain language.

With so much information (and misinformation) around vaccines, knowing what to trust isn’t always straightforward.

This Immunisation Awareness Month, we’re busting a few common vaccine myths and sharing the facts to help you feel better informed about your health.

Medical Terms Explained #1

Medical language can sometimes be difficult to understand. We’re breaking down some of the terms you’re likely to hear, to make navigating your health a little easier.

Importantly, acute and chronic don’t tell you how serious a condition is - they’re mainly used to describe how it develops and how long it lasts.

The more you understand the language around your health, the easier it can be to feel informed and prepared.

The reality is that health records are often spread across different hospitals, clinics, specialists, and systems. That means important details can be delayed, duplicated, or missed altogether.

With Inherit, you can take control of your own health record - providing a complete picture of your health journey so you’re better prepared for appointments, emergencies, second opinions, and every decision in between.
