Good Information Toolkit Talk from the House of Commons Library

How does health literacy impact constituents and the NHS? Join us for an essential session focused on improving health literacy, where we will ask:

What is health literacy?

• Understand the fundamentals and why it’s important for effective communication in our communities.
  Why does it matter to the NHS and your constituents?
• Discover how improved health literacy can lead to better patient outcomes, reduce health inequalities, and help you support your constituents.
• How can we empower constituents to understand information about their health
• Explore how we can improve understanding in written and verbal information. We’ll also step into the shoes of patients who don’t understand what they’re being told about their health, and think about how we can communicate with empathy.

If you’re working in a constituency, this session can help you engage with communities about their health and support informed decision-making.
