The State of Virginia is introducing a requirement that all graduating high school students should take a #healthliteracy course. Wouldn't it be great if there was an equivalent move here in the UK @healthliteracyuk.bsky.social @nhsenglandldn.bsky.social

Pharmacies can offer clinical advice and over the counter medication for minor illnesses. They work with other healthcare professionals to get you the best care and will let you know if you need to see another service, such as your GP or go to hospital - https://bit.ly/3JaANCR

On the final day of #HealthLiteracyMonth as well as reflecting on all the great work being done in health sector in the UK it's also worth thinking about what still needs to happen. This will be what @healthliteracyuk.bsky.social will be focusing on and supporting between now and October next year

It's been so fantastic to see the commitment, activity and understanding of the importance of #healthliteracy during #HealthLiteracyMonth. Challenge is to keep the momentum going during the next 11 months. Here at @healthliteracyuk.bsky.social we will certainly be doing our best to keep it going
