Empowering patients: patient information project

The Scottish Consumer Council (SCC) has received funding from the Scottish Executive Health Department for two years from April 2003 to prepare a range of information products for patients. The project will focus on information about patients' rights, producing templates which can be used throughout the NHS in Scotland. The process of developing information will aim to involve patients and members of the public, as well as NHS staff.

The project will aim to

improve the availability of information to patients about their right

achieve a greater degree of consistency in the information used in the NHS

ensure the accessibility of any information produced, in terms of format, language and style

reduce the burden of information production from NHS organisations by providing national templates on topics which are consistent throughout Scotland.
