What is an information prescription?
An Information Prescription is a leaflet being given to people with long term conditions by their doctor, nurse or pharmacist. It aims to help them understand and manage their own health condition.
The leaflet tells you where you can find more information and support, including a telephone helpline, where a knowledgeable and friendly person can give you more support and assistance, and post out further information to you.
The leaflet also gives details of this website where you can find more information to help you to understand and manage of your condition.
