Great initiative.. however if the same questions are asked to the underserved population the answers wouldn’t be the same. There is still a lot of gap in health literacy that needs addressing @bhamcommunity @NHSMidlands @BSol_ICS
Do you know which healthcare service to use when you're ill? We went out onto the streets of Birmingham to test the knowledge of our community. If in doubt contact #NHS111 or go to nhs.uk for more information. #Urgentcare #NHS
