Added at 18:00 on 21 October 2025

This October, NHSGGC is supporting Health Literacy Month by sharing practical tips from NHS Inform’s It’s Okay to Ask campaign.

When you have followed the links above you will have a new acronym

                 BRAN for getting the best out of the Health Service

It’s Okay to Ask encourages patients to ask: 

                                What are the Benefits of my treatment?
                                 What are the Risks of my treatment?
                                  Any Alternative treatments I can try?
                                  What if I do Nothing?

We all know about FAST and BEFAST which can help us recognise when someone is suffering a stroke.
