Extract

The availability of high-quality, evidence-based, clearly communicated, user-focused information is central to the new NHS. Reliable information empowers patients and their families and enables them to become more knowledgeable about their care and condition following consultation and diagnosis or before a therapeutic intervention. It is an integral part of clinical governance and the clinical risk framework.
