This #HealthLiteracyMonth is a great time to have a look at your Patient Information materials and make sure they're accessible and up-to-date. Use the free NHS Document Readability Tool to analyse your work for its estimated reading age and complexity: readability.ncldata.dev/
Welcome to the NHS Document Readability Tool. The average reading age of adults in the UK in 9 to 11 years old. The information we write often has a higher reading age than this. This tool helps you write in a simple and clear way for the average UK reading age.

The health and digital literacy challenge. Health services depend on digital literacy to access and health literacy to understand and use. National health literacy levels in England: 43% adults aged 16-65 cannot understand word-based health information sufficiently well to make health decisions. Where numbers are added in, 61% of adults are unable to understand and act on the information. To the right of the text: a screenshot of the Health Literacy Geodata website, showing a map of England with local authorities highlighted in different colours depending on their levels of health literacy. To the left of the text: a map of England showing the local authorities in the bottom 20% for digital connectivity. The areas are predominantly in the south west and the north.
