Objectives
The Patient Information Committee produces high quality evidence-based patient information derived mainly (but not solely) from RCOG Green-top Guidelines and NICE guidance. The information produced is designed to:
- provide objective, up to date, relevant information about conditions, diseases, treatments, procedures
- empower women and those using obstetric and gynaecology services to make informed decisions about their health and healthcare
- reflect accurately the content of the source document (e.g. RCOG or NICE guidance)
- supplement source document with other essential information
- reflect the views collated through the peer review and consumer pilot processes
- support busy professionals by providing high quality evidence-based information to reinforce that given verbally, e.g. at consultations, pre- and post- procedures.
