ReadEasy - Helping adults learn to read

We are proud to be supporting the ReadEasy scheme, helping to ensure that everyone can read well enough to access all those things that affect their life.

Do you know someone who struggles to read? Read Easy Shropshire Hills provides free and confidential one-to-one reading coaching for adults.

People can learn to read or improve their reading skills at their own pace and without pressure. It's friendly, flexible, and the results are literally life changing.

For us and our patients, we know that the ability to read gives people greater control over their health. It gives them:

• the ability to make informed decisions.
• the ability to understand the health choices offered to them.
• understand the expansive information now available through AI.
• manage results & prescriptions.
• to be confident with medications.

If we can help to improve someone’s literacy, that person has a greater chance of improved health outcomes. This is the same for many other areas of life, where people need to navigate complex IT systems and apps, need to access financial help, understand travel information and improve their job opportunities by having a higher literacy level.

Please contact the surgery for more information about this scheme.
