<p>In this episode, I’m joined by Talent Nyamakope, Health Literacy Lead with the Adult Literacy for Life (ALL) Strategy Office in SOLAS, and Edel Finan, Regional Literacy Coordinator with Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB). We discuss what health literacy means, what’s happening on the ground locally and nationally, and some of the projects they’ve been involved in. Talent and Edel also offer practical advice to help people make informed health decisions and share insights on how healthcare services can become more literacy friendly.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Links and contact information:</strong></p><p> Literacy Support in Waterford and Wexford from WWETB:[email protected], or call 085 8567164.</p><p><br></p><p>Digital literacy eLearning courses developed in WWETB can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvVQKahMblQ&list=PLLVZ-kpwcmx8N0_gZAaXyyEL-y1cFQBhV">Digital Literacy eLearning videos - YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p>WWETB <a href="https://issuu.com/wwetb1/docs/0ca57e9f-e7b3-4ca5-8107-13e86eecb0e4?fr=sOTU3Nzg2ODYyMjg">Plain English Booklet</a></p><p><br></p><p>The ALL Strategy can be found at <a href="https://a.storyblok.com/f/120607/x/a256be34db/adult-literacy-for-life-strategy.pdf">adult-literacy-for-life-strategy.pdf</a></p><p><br></p><p>Online courses available at <a href="http://www.adultliteracyforlife.ie/aware">www.adultliteracyforlife.ie/aware</a></p><p> </p><p>Useful health resources:</p><p><a href="http://www.hse.ie/">www.hse.ie</a></p><p><a href="http://www.mychild.ie/">www.mychild.ie</a></p><p><a href="http://www.healthpromotion.ie/">www.healthpromotion.ie</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGWXSPzwl8-IqDbHMMg42hw">HSE Health and Wellbeing Podcast on YouTube</a></p>
