The Accessible Information Standard https://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/patients/accessibleinfo-2/ directs and defines a specific, consistent approach to identifying, recording, flagging, sharing and meeting the information and communication support needs of patients, service users, carers and parents, where those needs relate to a disability, impairment or sensory loss.
NHS England will be running 8 regional events aimed at informing delegates about the standard, providing feedback and guidance from pilot sites and facilitating workshops to instigate discussions to find a way forward to achieve successful and effective implementation.
Please see details of the London event (27 January 2016, 10am – 3.30pm) at: https://www.events.england.nhs.uk/nhs-england/843
