TD’s and Senators encouraged to sign pledge for heart and stroke patients
Political support needed for practical, social and emotional support services of CVD patients
Read MoreToday, we are proud to join Patients for Patient Safety Ireland and many other patient representative groups in calling on the Government to implement a single national framework on health literacy across all healthcare, education and community programmes.
Health Literacy is fundamental to improved health outcome. We want to empower everyone in Ireland with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to be active partners and advocates for their own care.
We need to advance, publicise and advocate to Government the need for proper health literacy in Ireland.
