Enhancing Patient Understanding: Health Literacy and Communication
How confident are you that your patients understand what you are communicating all of the time? This workshop is designed to assist Members to prevent misunderstandings and provide health care that supports patients who may struggle with interpreting and obtaining health information. This workshop, delivered in a small and interactive environment, will:
- Explore the warning signs and implications of limited health literacy and strategies to improve patient understanding
- Assess your workplace systems to identify areas to enhance the health literacy environment to support patients with limited health literacy.
The workshop is complimentary for MDA National Members. Non-Members may participate, if space allows, for a fee (contact education@mdanational.com.au).
