We often hear that the UK’s health and social care system is in crisis. People deserve to be cared for properly and with dignity, we say. Yet our care system is not currently organised to enable the best possible outcomes for those who need it most.

Language lets us communicate with others, make sense of the world, and engage with society. It’s the way we express our ideas, thoughts, and emotions. It provides a common structure to share what’s in our...
