Patient Information Week 💬

Today we’re focusing on the importance of translated patient information. Having access to health information in different languages helps patients better understand their care, make informed decisions, and feel more confident when using our services. It also supports equality and removes language barriers that can affect patient experience and outcomes.

We’ve shared helpful links below to translated patient information and further patient support resources. Please take a look or share with anyone who may find them useful.
