Arthritis Research UK unveils new range of patient information materials
Written by healthcare professionals and designed by patients, these are a great resource for members of the care team to provide to patients during a consultation. The range of over 80 booklets were developed following new research into patient information needs, commissioned by the charity.
Key features include:
- Straightforward: fewer words with only the necessary information included; an ‘at a glance’ section for easy reference, making the most important points more digestible, key messages and important points highlighted throughout
- Relevant: all information based on the most up-to-date evidence available
- Authoritative: the newly written texts have been medically reviewed and lay reviewed
- Clear: with colour photography, including pictures of symptoms and 3D illustrations
- Accessible: no jargon! An easy to understand Q&A format
- Inclusive: a ‘get involved’ page to help patients who can feel isolated
Order or download from the website, by email (enquiries@arthritisresearchuk.org), by telephone on 0300 790 0400 or by post by filling in a postal order form and posting to: Arthritis Research UK, PO Box 177, Chesterfield, Derbyshire S41 7TQ.
