External links

We work hard to provide external links to sites that are relevant and reliable. We receive no remuneration or other benefit for posting external links. We generally present lists of external links in order of relevance or alphabetically, which ever is appropriate in the particular context.

By default, external links open in a new browser window or tab.

External links look like this: cdc.gov

Patient Information Sheets

Patient instruction and information sheets are general documents clinicians can use as a basis for providing specific instructions, information or advice to a patient. The clinician should read them carefully and make any necessary changes before using them.

The buttons at the bottom of each sheet allows you to COPY the text (to paste into an EMR / EHR) or PRINT it as plain text to provide to the patient.

You can make changes to the text, these will be incorporated into the copied or printed text.
