Health Literacy Hub’s Mission
Care
Personalised, Patient Centred-Care
“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has” [Hippocrates].
A patient-centred approach promotes the active participation of the individual in the clinical decisions and ensures that their preferences, needs and values are respected.
Health Literacy Hub is a platform built around these core needs:
Fast access to reliable health advice
Clear comprehensive information and support
Involvement in decisions and respect for preferences
Education
Improving Patient-Practitioner Communication
More accurate diagnosis
Communicate precise information to the healthcare providers about your health condition
Appropriate counselling
Understand how your medical or family history may impact your risk of developing certain conditions and seek timely and appropriate advice
Higher adherence to the therapeutic strategy
Understand the choices of treatment and express your preferences and needs
Improved long-term health
Be actively involved in every step of your physical and mental healthcare journey to choose the best options for you
Empowerment
Providing Informed Consent
Research shows that most of the material and information related to informed consent that are delivered during the consultation are difficult to understand, leading to a misevaluation of the potential risks and complications of a medical procedure, and critical legal and ethical issues.
A better comprehension of the information provided enables improved content retention, the opportunity to ask for clarification wherever needed, and to express satisfaction with the suggested medical procedure or treatment plan.
