Health Literacy Aim To roll out specific health literacy interventions, including teach back across NMAHP settings Impacts of low health literacy include poorer health status; greater risk of hospitalisation, higher emergency admissions, more medication and treatment errors and less ability to self manage. A more co-ordinated approach is required to improve awareness of the impact of low literacy and health literacy and to ensure healthcare staff have the skills and knowledge needed to identify and support people in every healthcare contact. A National Health Literacy Group has been established to help co-ordinate this work.
