Using health information comics with patients and families
Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 12:27PM Following the i3 Conference I have been thinking quite a bit about information in a visual form. What some call visual literacy. It is with that in mind that I was interested in the subject matter of a workshop taking place in Manchester.
The details are below for anyone interested in this area or concept.

Please see below for details of a half day workshop (1-4pm) I'm planning in Manchester on 17th September. It may be of interest to IL people who are interested in visual literacy and/or health literacy.

Using health information comics with patients and families
This half day workshop is based around findings from a recent Wellcome Trust funded research project that explored the potential impact of educational comics on patients and relatives of people with a range of health conditions.
Through interviews with patients and relatives, the research explored how, and to what extent, educational comics can provide support in dealing with feelings and attitudes associated with health conditions, for example, fears and anxieties, social interactions and relationships. You can find out more about the project here: http://goo.gl/9HCsdm
In this workshop, we will discuss the findings of the research and the implications for practice, as well as exploring ways to work with health information comics in libraries and healthcare settings.
The workshop is open to health librarians; librarians in other sectors with an interest in health information; and others supporting health information provision.
