摘要
The Scottish Government published "Making it Easy - A Health Literacy Action Plan for Scotland" in 2014, and in 2017 the next steps were set out in "Making it Easier - A Health Literacy Action Plan for Scotland 2017-2025." This article discusses what health literacy is, outlining the key points from these national action plans. The importance of understanding and addressing health literacy in relation to renal services, and dialysis in particular, is highlighted by use of an example of a Scottish renal unit's practice to outline the principles being used in a service.
