Event details

Are you a healthcare professional that wants to learn about how your patients understand their healthcare journey? Do you want to make that journey better? Then this webinar on health literacy is for you.

HSE Mid West Health and Wellbeing would like to invite you to attend a MS Teams Lunchtime Webinar on Health Literacy.

Health Literacy is “The knowledge, motivation, and competencies a person has, to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information to make judgments and decisions in everyday life. These judgments and decisions are about health care, disease prevention and health promotion that maintain or improve quality of life”.

The webinar will cover

  • Who is most affected?
  • The impact health literacy has on both the service user and the health care professional
  • And what both the patient and service provider can do to improve health literacy
