Easy read guides to health choices and questions to ask

The NHS Knowledge and Library Services team at Health Education England have worked with people with lived experience to produce two, new, easy read guides for people with learning disabilities. 

Designed to help people navigate healthcare information, the simply explained guides could help people get the treatment they need and want and the answers they need to understand information they are given. This could include information about medication, appointments, or treatment, as well as the format information is provided in, for example by letter or email. 

 ‘Get ready to talk about your health’ prepares people for what to do before they go for a consultation with any health or care provider. ‘3 questions for better health’ suggests important questions to ask during an appointment.  

The second, phase of the project is to produce supporting information in video format. Find out more and download the documents
