New patient information screens
(featuring members of the Patient Panel and communications team) will review your leaflet. If approved, you will be notified, together with your Healthcare Group’s patient safety and quality team. The leaflet will then be sent to the graphic designer for finalising on the template. If the patient information group have queries or feedback on your leaflet, you will be notified and asked to address this and return it to the communications team.
7. The graphic designer will finalise the leaflet on the template. The graphic designer will then send the final version to the Healthcare Group’s patient safety and quality team, with the author copied in. The Healthcare Group’s patient safety and quality team will update the meeting cover sheet to reflect the patient information group’s approval.
8. The Healthcare Group’s patient safety and quality team will submit the leaflet to the Trust Policy Group. The leaflet will be noted and the compliance and clinical effectiveness team will add the leaflet to the POLICYAssure system. You, your Healthcare Group’s patient safety and quality team and the communications team will be notified. 9. Please print the leaflets in colour (where possible) within your department, using a trust printer, before distributing to patients.
10. The leaflet will be publicised in the next issue of the InTouch Weekly newsletter.
You can access templates and read full information on the patient information leaflet page on the communications hub on Alex
