Misinformation UnMASKED – a new resource to combat health misinformation!

Joanne Naughton, Knowledge and Library Services Development Manager (WT&E) NHS England

The NHS England Knowledge and Library Services Team have worked with South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust to create resources to help you and your users unmask misinformation. 

Resources were designed based on views of the public, NHS and public library staff. They include: 

  • A Misinformation UnMASKED checklist 
  • Animations helping people spot misinformation and find reliable health information 

The first animation in the series and the checklist are now available at: https://library.nhs.uk/health-information/ 

We value your support in helping to promote these resources with your users and any partners you work with e.g. public libraries. 

Look out for more animations to follow over the summer!
