Interpretation of Test Results and Terminology: A Live Session Recording

This is a live session recording from Pituitary Awareness Month. Have you ever been in a consultation and struggled to understand all of the words being used? Are you sometimes confused by the terms referred to on your records? Or maybe you've received test results that haven't been properly explained to you? This is the session for you if you wish to understand more about your test results and terminology, used in any kind of appointments with medical professionals. Often, those who you are meeting don't have the time to go into detail about more advanced terms. This is why we're pleased to be joined by Advanced Clinical Diabetes and Endocrinology Pharmacist, Matthew Heppel, who will go through commonly misunderstood terminology and test results, and explain it in easy to understand ways.

Thank you to Matthew for taking the time to hold this session, and for sharing his expertise and answering your questions. All of the resources mentioned in the video are available for free on our website here: https://www.pituitary.org.uk/informat...
