Losing Patients - Join the campaign
14th December 2009
Losing Patients is all about empowering blind and partially sighted people to secure accessible information from the NHS.
Everyone who joins this campaign believes that print is the problem, not having a sight impairment. We each have the right to manage our own health affairs with the same level of speed and privacy, whether we have a sight impairment or not. Resource pack for individuals and campaigners
The Losing Patients resource pack (Word, 93KB) includes a series of steps that you can take to support the campaign and demand accessible information from your GP, local hospital or clinic.
To make this easier, we have also provided a pre-formatted 'notification letter (Word, 24KB)' which you can send to your healthare provider. By sending this letter to your healthcare provider, you will be part of a co-ordinated campaign to heighten awareness and recognition across the NHS that their culture of giving ordinary print to blind and partially sighted patients must end.
