New Patients Association resources helping patients prepare to get the most out of appointments
4th February 2025
Today the Patients Association has launched two resources – an animation and a guide, which provide patients with the knowledge and tools they need so they are prepared to get the most out of their care. This includes:
- ensuring they are prepared,
- guidance on how they can prevent things going wrong,
- steps they can take at each stage of their journey through the healthcare system.
They cover themes before, during and after appointments; focusing on communication, sharing information, and accessibility.
Both resources can be viewed and downloaded on our website .
As part of this work, we engaged with patients from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, conditions and levels of interactions with the health system, who helped design the guide and animation.
These resources will be helpful to patients who are currently experiencing difficulties in accessing the care they need. We would appreciate if you could share with patients and healthcare teams in your area.
This work was funded by a grant from GSK.
