Patients need information from health providers to be clear, appropriate and timely, to help them understand their situation, grasp what they need to do, and make informed decisions. But often health information is not suitable or accessible to its audience. This is an updated reprint of the second edition of this guide, originally published in March 2003. The guide is designed to support a wide range of health professionals in the public, commercial and voluntary sectors to develop the quality and impact of the information they produce. With a foreword by Harry Cayton, National Director for Patients and Public, Department of Health, this edition has been fully updated in line with the latest developments in new media such as CD ROMs and the internet. The guide also shows how to use traditional media, such as print, to the best advantage.
