Health disparities webinar: Using data and health literacy techniques to reduce inequalities

October 4, 2022

Did you know nearly half the adults in England (43 per cent) struggle to read and understand health information? When that information includes numbers as well as words, this rises to 61 per cent.

This means important details, such as how to take medicines and dosage, understanding appointment letters and test results can be missed – and not everyone feels confident to say when they don’t understand.

To address health disparities, a key focus needs to be on improving health literacy, digital literacy and digital access. In this webinar attendees will find out about newly available maps and online tool using, place-based geodata to identify levels of health literacy and digital access in your area.

This event takes place on Thursday 20 October, from 12.30pm. To book your place and find out more please click here.
