Effectively involving patients in their own safety starts with effective personalised communication. Health literacy is a huge part of that.

We need to urgently address the inherent bias in the way information is shared #safetydifferently

I have just spent 45 mins watching this.. a must watch for all within maternity services🙏 when something goes wrong for a member of staff it’s referred to as an “incident”. When a service user raises the very same, it’s referred to as a “complaint” Certainly has made me think !

If you’re involved in delivering maternity and neonatal care, we need your help to improve services in GM. Our Equity and Equality Action Plan describes how we will address health inequalities and improve outcomes. Read it here: england.nhs.uk/north-west/gme…
