"The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.”

“To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.”
[Osler-isms]

Why is high quality health information important for patients?
Medical and healthcare information are sometimes complex for patients, therefore it is important to ensure they receive clear and understandable information.
For every two medicines prescribed by doctors, one will be taken in the way the doctor advised and the other will not. Medicine dosing errors – such as taking medicine at the wrong time, taking too much, or not taking enough – mean a patient’s condition may fail to improve and could get worse.
There are many reasons why patients don’t take medicines as advised, which may include forgetfulness, not understanding instructions, or not believing the medicine is helping.
High quality patient information can help to overcome some of these problems.

Before any medical treatment begins, it is the doctor’s responsibility to ensure that the patient (or a person legally allowed to make decisions on their behalf) understands what it’s for and that they agree to receive it.
This is called informed consent. In practice, this means that the person giving consent must receive clear, understandable and relevant information about what the treatment involves, including expected benefits and risks, any alternatives, and what may happen if the patient chooses not to go ahead with treatment. If the suggested treatment involves taking part in a research study, patients must also understand the research aims, and any extra tests or clinic visits involved in the study.

Informed consent is more than just a legal responsibility for the doctor. Without high quality information upfront, it’s very difficult for any patient to make the right decision when it comes to their health & what treatment plan best suits them. But once involved, a well-informed patient is more likely to stick with their agreed treatment plan than one who doesn’t.

What makes patient information effective?
Healthcare professionals often assume that their explanations and instructions are easy to understand. In reality, they are often misunderstood. Health literacy is the term used to describe the ability of patients to read and understand the words and numbers they come across in a healthcare setting (e.g. dosing instructions)
Most adults are comfortable reading health information written in language that could be understood by a typical 12-year-old, but one in every five adults finds this difficult.
Older people may have additional challenges if they have problems with seeing, hearing or reasoning.
People with reduced health literacy can be helped to understand complex ideas if the doctor speaks slowly, using everyday words, or if information is given in short sections rather than all at once.
Written information that includes pictures and illustrations can also help. In one study, patients had a better understanding of when to take their daily tablets if they were shown a visual aid (a diagram showing coloured tablets), compared to spoken or written instructions alone.
