Patient Information Leaflets

Here at LHCH, we feel it is important for all patients to be aware of the conditions that they have and the tests and treatments that are available to them before undergoing any procedures. 

We have a wide range of patient information leaflets available for download, which can be selected fom the drop down menus below. However if you don't have the information that you require, please visit the NHS website where you will find additional details. 

We also have information leaflets for the following:

  • Health, Promotion, Rehab and Infection Prevention
  • Discharge Information
  • Drugs and Medication
  • Patients and Families 
 

Audio for patient Leaflets

We have a number of 'Audio videos' for a selection of our patient information leaflets. Links to these videos are available alongside the related documents below.
