Patient Information Directory

About our patient information leaflets

This directory includes patient information leaflets from University Hospitals Birmingham, as well as leaflets from other NHS organisations and trusted health bodies.

These leaflets are here to help you understand your health and care. They can support what you talk about with your doctor, nurse, or healthcare team.

They do not replace medical advice. But they can help you:

  • prepare for an appointment
  • understand your condition or treatment
  • remember the important points after you have spoken with your doctor

If you have any questions, please speak to a member of your healthcare team. They are here to help you.
