An information prescription is a document designed to provide service users and carers with information about their long-term condition such as diagnosis and possible treatments and signposts to further advice and support such as how to access local support groups.
The information prescriptions e-learning course has been developed on behalf of DH by NHS Employers and is delivered by DH e-learning for Healthcare (e-LfH).
It is suitable for any member of staff who has responsibility for providing information to service users and carers. The e-learning identifies the skills and competences needed to assess information needs and provides individually tailored action plans.
