A good read from @RyanSwiers
Making sure we understand the info we're given about our health seems an obvious part of helping us look after ourselves.
As a communication team we're putting it into practice. As a patient, I can't wait to see this across everything we do.
Ryan Swiers is the NENC ICB's health literacy lead and a consultant in public health at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. In this blog he explains why good communication underpins great healthcare. 🗣
