    Aims

    Health literacy is the degree to which individuals can obtain and understand information needed to make appropriate health decisions and to be active partners in their own health care. This course aims to increase participants’ understanding of health literacy and its impact on health and wellbeing and to explore the available tools and resources that can support individuals with their health literacy.

    Outcomes

    Successful completion of this course will provide participants with:

    • An understanding of the hidden problem of health literacy, and its extent in Scotland;
    • The ability to recognise barriers for individuals in accessing and understanding health information and being actively involved in their own health and social care; and
    • Different techniques and tools for communicating more effectively with individuals and enabling them to better manage their own health.

    Who should attend?

    This course is particularly relevant to NHS Fife and Fife Health and Social Care staff who may be required to discuss health related issues with patients and service users.

    Facilitators
