Café com Saúde
"CAFÉ COM SAÚDE" ("Coffee Break with Health" in english) is a series of health literacy seminars, centered on health topics of general interest to all audiences, taking place in Oeiras libraries and public health facilities. Its format is inspired in that of "CAFÉ COM LETRAS" ("Coffee Break with Letters" in english), a well established language and literature-centered seminar series organized by the Oeiras municipality, but with health themes.
"CAFÉ COM SAÚDE" is a space for discussion and sharing, whose objective is to create a meeting point between experts and the general public that contributes to the health literacy of Oeiras citizens. Experts from the CBR, Católica Medical School (FM-UCP), Hospital da Luz and other Centro Académico Clínico Católica Luz (CAC – CL) partners simply take the lead.
Some of the topics covered will be:
Better Health Literacy, Better Health;
Digital Health Literacy: what it is and why it is important;
Artificial Intelligence in Health;
Mental Health Literacy;
Bioethics;
The importance of Sleep in Health;
The importance of Nutrition in Health;
Numeracy: Numbers and Statistics in Health;
Clear Communication in Health;
Knowledge of health, healthcare and the Portuguese health systems;
Health literacy for inclusion and active citizenship.
"CAFÉ COM SAÚDE" is a new sister seminar series to the well established "CAFÉ COM LETRAS" (or "Coffee Break with Letters"), an initiative by Oeiras libraries wherein renowned Portuguese and foreign-speaking authors and their audience meet to discuss books and literature. "CAFÉ COM LETRAS" had its 100th edition in March 2022.
