Health Literacy Conference at Keele University Friday 20th June 2014

From our colleague at the Stoke Public Health Improvement Service:

Book now for this 1-day conference in Health Literacy on 20th June 2014 at Keele Hall, Staffordshire. Places are rapidly filling up so early booking is recommended.

Health literacy is a national priority in public health and health inequalities - and of key interest to clinicians, researchers and the general public alike.

We have plenary sessions from national and international health literacy experts, including
  • Professor Michael Wolf (Northwestern University, Chicago)
  • Dr Kristine Sorensen (Maastricht University)
  • Prof Gill Rowlands (Kings College, London)
who will present their view on the current evidence, impact and future implications of Health Literacy Research on Healthy Living, from their respective international perspectives of the US, Europe and the UK.

Further information can be found on the UK Health Literacy Group’s website or contact Sue Weir (s.weir@keele.ac.uk) for details.

Come and be inspired!
