Europa Donna wins award ‘9 Things you Should Know about Breast Cancer’

Published: Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Our Members and partners in all things Breast health, Europa Donna Ireland have just won a Crystal Clear Award for health literacy. Their "9 Things you Should Know about Breast Cancer" Leaflet, launched by Minister Mary Harney last October was given first place under the category for best project in the Community or in a Social Setting.

The aim of the awards is to recognise anyone working in the healthcare arena that is making real efforts to ensure their communications with the public are "crystal clear" and easy to understand.

Health literacy is a person's ability to understand basic health information whether they receive it in writing, in person or over the phone. At the earliest possible stage Europa Donna teamed up Clondalkin Women's Network to get some all important critical feedback on the content of the draft leaflet.

Thanks to all involved and congratulations from all of us at the National Womens Council Of Ireland
