‘Patients and carers cannot express preferences about care and make choices on involvement in decision making unless they have access to appropriate and timely information.’

To give the factsheets to your patients, simply photocopy from the folders, or print directly from the CD-ROM – it’s up to you.
The Factfile package is priced at only £299 if you pre-order it before the end of March 2008. The price includes a licence to reproduce the factsheets as many times as you want during the year – that works out at less than £1 a day!
