Health Literacy & Cancer

Health Literacy & Cancer

EONS course on health literacy is a critical foundation for effective cancer care. Health literacy empowers patients to understand their diagnosis, make informed decisions, and actively participate in their care. For Cancer Nurses, it enhances communication, builds trust, and improves outcomes. Throughout this course we’ll explore practical tools and strategies to bridge gaps, foster understanding, and ensure everyone can access and use health information effectively.
