Online NHS Health Guides for Long-Term Conditions Released on NHS Choices

Date:7/11/2008

est these new guides and have said that the information source will improve their consultations with patients, and save them time. Doctors and Practice Nurse can easily print off the information for patients so that they can become more knowledgeable in their own time and own space.

Dr Bhupinder Mangat, a GP from Hounslow, who has been using these guides with his patients as part of testing said:

"People come to my surgery with sheets of paper they've printed out from the internet, and they say: â€˜I want what it says hereâ€™."

"I'd much prefer them to come in with sound information from NHS Choices. I may have to explain the advice isn't appropriate to them but at least the discussion will be on a sound footing. That's really positive."

Dr Mangat now advises patients with heart conditions to look at the site's heart disease guide.

"When they come back to me, they seem more positive. Helping patients understand their conditions is the first step to treating it."

"Internet sites are neither a replacement or alternative to a doctor. But nothing is more valuable than a good education".
