Getting up to standard: upcoming health literacy seminar


An ABS survey has found only 41 per cent of adults have adequate health literacy skills.

Have you heard about the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards but want to know more about how they apply to your service?

Or are you looking for some practical tips to ensure that your service will meet the national requirements?

Come along to our health literacy seminar on Tuesday October 2, to hear about the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards relating to health literacy.

We are pleased to have guest speakers, Naomi Poole, director of partnering with consumers from the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare and Luke Sloane, WSLHD director of Clinical Governance presenting at the seminar.

This is the fourth in a series of bi-monthly seminars to help improve the health literacy of our patients and communities.

The series is coordinated jointly by the WSLHD health literacy hub and the University of Sydney.
