Finding credible health information and identifying misinformation and fake news (Session 5 - mini series)
Community Development and Health Network (CDHN)
This is a free event
CDHN is delivering a Health Literacy Training Mini-series during April for people in communities. The series will consist of five unique training sessions. Each session will explore a different topic related to Health Literacy. The overall aim of the series is to increase awareness and improve knowledge and understanding of health literacy so that:
People have increased confidence when using health information and services and feel better equipped to make health decisions
Those who support people with health and social issues have a better understanding of people’s circumstances so they can provide the most effective and appropriate advice and help.
Each session has been designed to be interactive and participative with use of breakout rooms and Zoom polls and will finish with a short insight gathering session where participants will be asked to share their experiences of using health information and making health decisions.
Depending on the participant’s role and interest, they may wish to attend only one session or a number of sessions. Please note there are limited places on each training programme and booking is essential.
In this session, participants will gain skills which will enable them to identify fake news and misinformation and be made aware of trusted sources to access accurate health information on a range of topics including COVID-19.
- Increased understanding of health literacy

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
