Health Education England (NHS) and The Reading Agency have worked in partnership to bring together this new list to support users of health and prison libraries to understand and manage their health.
The theme of the collection focuses on supporting better general health, such as ageing well, menopause, men’s health, life as a trans person and better mental wellbeing.
The books and resources have been chosen with the various communities involved for individuals to use themselves or to help them understand someone else’s health issues.
Copies of the 10 books can be found in each library - Berrywood Library, Isebrook Library and the Richmond Library at Northampton General Hospital (you will need to be a library member to borrow them, but you can join online). You can see the list on our catalogue here.
As well as the print books there are also 30 digital resources freely available via the Health Education England web site which includes information on how to prepare for a health consultation, easy read health resources on a range of health conditions, personal stories about what it’s like to live with a health condition and living well with long-term health conditions.
All the online tools are free to access. They include websites, podcasts, and YouTube clips.
