October is Health Literacy Awareness month and like last year NHS libraries across NEL are teaming up to deliver a programme of sessions.
Nationally, 61% of adults struggle to understand health information that contains both words and numbers. In some areas of North East London the figure is nearly 80% (see Geodata – Health Literacy). This has huge implications for individuals and for our Integrated Care System.

These sessions will build participants’ awareness of personal and organisational health literacy, review local and national statistics related to the health literacy levels of our patient population, and explore tools that can be used to improve communication of health information.
This training is provided through a collaboration between several North East London NHS Knowledge & Library Services: Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, Barts Health NHS Trust, Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and NELFT.
