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
Thank-you to everyone who attended our lunch and learn session last week. Our guest speaker Sam Tyrer discussed his own experiences of living with mental health issues and how this influenced his reasons for working for the NHS. He also shared about how he wants his work to influence the outcomes of children and young people and is a fantastic advocate for raising awareness of mental health, the stigma that comes with this and raised some issues that young people are currently facing. Sam shared some really useful guidance for working with young people – or your own children and discussed some useful strategies to apply to cope with your own anxiety or mental health worries.
We would really appreciate any feedback on these sessions. If you have a few spare minutes we kindly ask you to complete our survey- which should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete:https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WLHBMSG
