It's #HealthLiteracyMonth. In our latest blog, our Senior Health Promotion Officer Lynn Swinburne explains how limited health literacy can be a barrier to screening, what we're doing to increase health literacy in screening, and how by addressing these needs we can enable more people to #choosescreening. "Increasing health literacy is more than educating people about screening - it is a vital public health strategy that can lead to improved health and wellbeing outcomes for the populations we serve." 👉 https://lnkd.in/ep5hab7t #healthliteracy #screening #NationalScreeningService
