Co-designing health literacy actions: Connecting the dots to create meaningful impact

Abstract In closing the workshop, this presentation will bring together the participatory research recommendations for promoting and developing healthy literacy in Ireland, which will be led by Slaintécare Healthy Communities in practice, dissemination and scale up. In particular, a worked example from a third Slaintécare Healthy Community (Westmeath) will be presented; a healthy literacy “Train the Trainer” professional development course for local health literacy champions. In this presentation, we will also challenge attendees to offer suggestions of how to support and facilitate other recommendations suggested by our participants, and invite them to consider how this participatory action approach to a health literacy needs analysis could be utilised in their own contexts.
