Health Information Week

This week is Health Information Week (6th - 12th July).
Health Health Information Week is an annual national, multi-sector campaign to promote high quality information for patients and the public. High quality information can have a huge impact on people's ability to stay healthy and manage illnesses effectively, giving them a better quality of life.

Take a look at our leaflet:
Searching for good quality health information on the internet which is available on the Trust intranet under patient information.

To find Coronavirus information for patients and the public  from trusted sources, including information in Easy Read and other accessible formats, see the resources compiled by HEE’s national Library and Knowledge Services team:

There is also good myth-busting information on Covid-19 here:
