Working Towards A Greener NHS: Improving How We Provide Discharge Information to Families
Poster Description
Written and verbal information given to parents on discharge is often inconsistent, potentially leading to increased parental anxiety, and either inappropriate re-attendance or future delayed presentations. Written information is easily lost or forgotten, and printing large volumes of paper leaflets has an unnecessary negative environmental impact. We designed a poster for display in clinical areas which contains QR codes linking to information on common conditions on the NHS Healthier Together website, with 235 total scans received in over 5 weeks and an average 6.7 scans per day.
