    Default Did you know.......?

    ...... that making the text on your webpages easier to read improves your website ranking on google? The standard used to measure this is the Flesch Reading Ease Test and a figure between 60 - 80 is considered optimal.

    The higher the score means your text is easier to understand. Increase your score by writing for an age group between 13 - 15 years, break up the text into smaller chunks and use correct punctuation.

    Snap! I was Clinical Risk Manager for the Maternity Unit where I worked as a senior midwife and helped get the trust to level II CNST. Then I left. I wrote the majority of the patient information leaflets too - not part of the job description

    Translation for the oldies:

    For sure. Confess now, are you making fun of me? That's really nice if you are, or perhaps you are just acting strange.
