Lunch and learn – April Reminder

Health Literacy Awareness Session

This is just a reminder that the next Lunch and Learn session will be held via Teams on Thursday 29th April between 12pm and 1pm.

This session will discuss:

  • What health literacy awareness is and how it might impact on everyday practice
  • Issues surrounding this topic when working with patients
  • What low health literacy looks and feels like
  • The impact of low health literacy on individuals’ everyday lives and on the services that support them
  • Tools and techniques you can use in practice to overcome these issues

As the session may discuss personal reflections or examples from practice, we will not be recording the April session.

Teams invites have been sent to all our Library registered users. If you would like an invite to be extended to you or you team please email: katie.roper@lscft.nhs.uk
