Public Health Literacy

Public Health Literacy is a measure of how well can use information about health to improve lives in their community.

We are improving our health literacy by working to better understand:

• our neighbourhoods and the people that live there
• the issues and inequalities that they face
   

Our Community Champions scheme helps us to do this by:

• speaking to residents about the health challenges they face
• finding out more information about people's key priorities for improving their health
• sharing information with people where they live

We also want to improve the public health literacy of people who:

• live,
• work
• study in the city.
   
• To do this we offer training for:
• individuals
• community organisations
• businesses
• care providers
