Digital Literacy & Health Literacy

Health Literacy Awareness Training

Do you want to help our patients to better understand, access and use health information so they can make informed decisions about their health? Health Literacy Awareness training offers healthcare professionals an opportunity to better understand what health literacy is. In this 1-hour session, participants will learn how health literacy affects health outcomes and primarily how limited health literacy can lead to poorer health outcomes. You will also discover tools, techniques and resources to use in practice to support those with limited health literacy. This course is aimed at anyone with a role in providing information to patients and carers, or who has a responsibility in planning and shaping services.

Sessions run from 1 - 2pm on the last Thursday of every month. Book onto a session by contacting the library team at bartshealth.library@nhs.net
