Health Literacy

Shared reading – online via Microsoft Teams

As part of Health Literacy Month, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust Library & Knowledge Services are running a shared reading session on Wednesday that has a Health Literacy aspect. They will be reading a couple of extracts from Karen Havelin’s ‘Please read this leaflet carefully’. It looks at the patient experience and her experiences of endometriosis, through diagnosis, treatment, and managing day to day life with a long term medical condition.

The session is on Wednesday 13th October. It is open to everyone with an interest in health literacy. There is no need to book, just turn up! It will take place via Teams from 12-12.30pm. The meeting link is here: Click here to join the meeting
