PCRS in Conversation - Health Inequalities: Health Literacy and Understanding
At the Primary Care Respiratory Society (PCRS), we believe in 'optimal'; respiratory health for all. Our aim is that, together, we can benefit every person with, or at risk of, lung disease.
In June's In Conversation webinar we are joined by Dr Llinos Jones, who is a Consultant Respiratory Physician with a specialist interest in asthma and Clinical Lead for Physician Associates at Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust.
Llinos is passionate about tackling health Inequalities and has created a number of fantastic multilingual resources in order to support asthma patients. During this webinar Llinos talks about how we can improve our patients care and understanding by overcoming cultural and language barriers.
