Researchers have proposed two ways language can be used to tackle epistemic injustice in healthcare: Look closely at the words used in healthcare. Identify language that leaves out people's experiences or reinforces unfair assumptions, then work with people with the disease, their families, healthcare professionals, researchers and policymakers to replace it with fairer and more inclusive language Make language part of how unfairness is investigated and taught. When examining why some people are not heard or included in medical knowledge, also consider how everyday terms and labels shape attitudes and decisions. Help students and healthcare staff recognise and question these hidden assumptions. o O 7 Reminder: Epistemic injustice is the harm done to a person which is related to their own knowledge or personal experience. ■% INFORM.
