SUMMARY:Webinar: Driving Health Literacy in the Real World 
DESCRIPTION:Driving health literacy in the real world. \nHow MediGuides can support improved healthcare understanding and patient engagement. \nClear communication is critical to safe\, effective healthcare yet health literacy remains one of the biggest barriers to patient understanding\, engagement\, and system efficiency. Poor communication comes at a high cost. Improving patient understanding isn’t just a clinical priority\, it’s an operational one. \nIn this webinar\, hosted in partnership with the NIHR\, we’ll explore how MediGuides\, a patient education tool\, is supporting clinicians to deliver clear\, consistent\, and efficient communication. Using graphically-led\, plain-language guides tailored to each patient\, MediGuides is helping to reduce confusion\, improve engagement\, and reduce waste. \n  \nThe session will include opening and closing remarks from Vee Mapunde and a presentation from Chris Pymble\, CEO/Founder\, MediGuides. \n  \nPlease use the link for the registration: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1337975263029?aff=oddtdtcreator
