Patient Advice Leaflets
The BAPN Clinical Standards and Guidelines committee have produced a library of patient information leaflets on the conditions listed below.  This library is intended as a starting point to be used in developing local patient information leaflets, rather than a source of finished leaflets, as they will need to be adapted to local practices, and be passed through local Patient Information Service vetting procedures.  The Committee thanks Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust who provided the original leaflets, which we have adapted for the BAPN.

For copies of the leaflets, please email leah.krischock@ggc.scot.nhs.uk
