About Dr Eze Explains

Making healthcare easier to understand

Dr Eze Explains was created by Dr Nneka Eze, Consultant ENT Surgeon, to help children, young people and families understand what to expect when they come into contact with healthcare.

The idea developed from Dr Eze’s own clinical practice. Many of the questions families ask before an appointment, investigation or operation are very similar: What will happen? Will it hurt? What will the room look like? Who will I meet? What happens afterwards?

Dr Eze Explains was created to answer these questions in a simple, reassuring and visually engaging way.

The short animated videos explain common hospital experiences, investigations and procedures in language that patients and families can understand.

Although the project began with videos developed for Dr Eze’s own patients, the library is growing to cover a wider range of healthcare experiences and specialties.
