Patient information leaflets

We produce lots of helpful leaflets with information about the services, treatments or procedures you may have while under our care.

You can find electronic versions of all our leaflets here, by searching alphabetically by leaflet name.

All these leaflets can be printed at home if you wish. If you need any of our leaflets in a different language or format, please contact our Patient Experience Team, who will be happy to help you.

These lists will be updated with new and revised patient information as it becomes available.

Please note all patient information should be used alongside the advice given by a clinician. If you have any questions, please contact the department or clinician who is responsible for your care.
